Great Ways to Reduce Menstrual Pain

Every month women will experience unbearable abdominal pain for a few days. Some people will experience pain at the beginning of the month, while others will experience abdominal pain a week before menstruation. These are relatively common. Generally, menstrual dysmenorrhea will often cause women to feel irritable, depressed, general fatigue, and unbearable pain, which has a great impact on the body. In fact, to relieve menstrual pain, you can usually use diet, massage and physical therapy to promote uterine blood circulation and prevent dysmenorrhea.

The first method: Diet:

1. Maintain a balanced diet: Eat less sweet or salty foods, as they will make you bloated and slow down your movements. Eat more vegetables, fruits, chicken, fish, and try to eat small meals frequently.

2. Do not eat foods containing caffeine, as it will make you nervous and cause discomfort during menstruation. The oil contained in coffee will also irritate the small intestine.

3. Milk and honey: Drinking a cup of hot milk with a spoonful of honey before going to bed every night can relieve or even eliminate the pain of dysmenorrhea, and the effect is excellent.

4. Bananas contain vitamin B6, which can stabilize emotions and relieve abdominal pain. You may want to eat more of them when you have dysmenorrhea.

5. Pay attention to dietary taboos: Try not to eat raw, cold, spicy and other irritating foods before and during menstruation, such as ice cream, barbecue, chili peppers, etc.

The second method : exercise

1. Strengthen physical exercise: Especially for those with weak constitution, while improving nutrition through diet, you can also do some light exercise: such as walking.

2. Practice yoga exercises: Yoga exercises have a relaxing effect, such as kneeling with bent knees, sitting on the heels, forehead on the ground, and arms stretched out on both sides of the body. You can also try different positions to find the one that is most comfortable for you.

The third method: massage

1. Ask your good friends to help you.

2. Lie face down on the blanket, relax completely, and stretch your body as much as possible: stretch your arms out and point your toes inward. Make sure to make yourself comfortable throughout the massage. Avoid any uncomfortable movements or postures.

3. Everything is ready, go

4. Ask your friend to feel the upper ridge of your pelvis - it's on your back, probably higher than you think - and push gently toward your feet. About 1-2 times per second. Note: It is not a circular motion, but a forward and backward push.

5. If you feel the force is too light, you can ask her to stand next to you facing your feet, hold on to the back of the chair and use her heels to do the pushing movement. Just have her keep her toes pointed up so she doesn't push vertically down and compress your pelvis; she also doesn't want her to step on your spine. It's normal for your body to rock as she pushes.

Special reminder:

1. The pain gradually eased, but recently intensified again, indicating the possibility of uterine retroversion or other diseases.

2. If your body temperature rises during menstruation, or even you have a fever, you should consider the possibility of endometritis.

3. The menstrual period is too long or too short (normal is 3-7 days), or the amount of bleeding is too much.

4. The pain in the lower abdomen becomes more obvious as the menstrual period approaches, but disappears on the first day of the menstrual period. This is a manifestation of premenstrual tension disorder.

5. Normal menstrual blood is dark red and contains old blood, mucus and shed endometrium in the form of fragments. If the menstrual blood becomes light brown in color or the smell changes, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible.

6. If you feel comfortable after doing the left side, continue to do the right side.
