What causes leg pain during menstruation?

We all know that women may experience various discomforts during their periods. For women with particularly healthy gynecology, periods do not seem to have any effect on them, but for women with gynecological diseases, periods are like a disease. Some women even experience leg pain during their periods. What causes this?

1. In winter, prepare some black tea, brown sugar, red dates, longan, astragalus, wolfberry, and rose. You can make some brown sugar ginger water, astragalus and wolfberry tea, longan and red dates tea, and rose tea by yourself. You can also drink some warm rice wine. During menstruation, you usually want to eat some chocolate and cake. It doesn’t matter, because eating sweets during menstruation will make it less likely to gain weight and can also help metabolize dirty blood.

2. The staple food should be light, and you should eat more foods that moisturize the intestines and promote bowel movements, such as fresh vegetables, fruits, peanut kernels, walnut kernels, sesame kernels, lettuce oil, honey, etc. In the later stages of menstruation, you need to supplement with more foods containing protein and iron, potassium, sodium, calcium and magnesium, such as meat, animal liver, eggs, milk, etc. In addition, red bean soup, longan soup, and eight-treasure porridge are all good daily choices. The fermented glutinous rice and boiled eggs that southerners like are also very good.

3. Try not to wash your hair during your menstrual period. If you have to wash your hair, try to wash it at noon and be sure to blow dry it immediately after washing. A hair dryer is indispensable. When drying your hair, pay special attention to the back of your neck. From there downwards, the Fengchi, Fengfu and other major wind points are likely to bring cold air and moisture into the body. Hair dryers also have other uses. For example, shoulder pain, stiff neck, etc. can be relieved by blowing with a hair dryer for a while. Avoid taking a bath during menstruation because the cervix is ​​more open and more easily contaminated, so if you want to take a bath, it is best to use a shower.

5. Be sure to keep your bed warm and go to bed early. At the same time, you should also drink more water to help digestion and make bowel movements smooth.

6. Press Sanyinjiao for ten minutes every day. Sanyinjiao is the first choice acupoint for gynecology and can be said to be a panacea for gynecological diseases. The point is located on the inner side of the human calf, three fingers wide above the inner edge of the ankle, in the depression on the edge of the tibia just above the ankle tip. It is the meeting point of the three yin meridians of the liver, spleen and kidney. The name of this acupoint means that the qi and blood substances of the three yin meridians of the foot meet at this acupoint. There is damp heat provided by the spleen meridian, damp wind provided by the liver meridian, and cold air provided by the kidney meridian. Pressing and kneading it more can both promote circulation and contract, activate blood circulation and stop bleeding, nourish yin and eliminate dampness. It can automatically adjust according to individual needs.

2Why do I have leg pain every time I have my period?

Correctly treating food supplements and drug supplements is the dietary principle for patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Both dietary supplements and medicinal supplements are beneficial to patients with rheumatoid arthritis, but they must be carried out according to the condition of the disease and the strength of the spleen and stomach's function. For example, milk, soy milk, malted milk, and chocolate are nutritious products, but if people have damp heat in the body or a sticky tongue coating, eating too much will cause abdominal bloating and discomfort, and loss of appetite. Although ginseng, white fungus, and donkey-hide gelatin can replenish qi and nourish blood, if people with spleen and stomach disharmony or internal damp heat take them, they will cause qi congestion and dampness, and not only will the illness not be cured, but the pain will be exacerbated.

Warm reminder: Every time I have my period, my legs hurt unbearably

Now we know that the main cause of leg pain during menstruation is rheumatoid arthritis, and it has nothing to do with menstruation itself.
