What to do when you have a stomachache during menstruation? Avoid these things

Many women experience abdominal pain during their menstruation, which is often called dysmenorrhea. In fact, dysmenorrhea is very common, but everyone should know that these things during menstruation can aggravate abdominal pain, such as sexual intercourse during menstruation, catching cold, etc., and must be avoided as much as possible.

1. Having sex during menstruation

Couples should be prohibited from having sexual intercourse during menstruation because during menstruation, the endometrium is exfoliated and there are fresh wounds in the uterine cavity. If you have sex, you may bring in bacteria, causing inflammation of the reproductive organs, and it may also increase the amount of menstrual blood or prolong the menstrual period.

2. Wear tight pants during menstruation

If you wear tight pants with a small crotch and small hip circumference during menstruation, the local capillaries will be compressed, thus affecting blood circulation and increasing perineal friction. It can easily cause perineal congestion and edema, and even cause diseases such as urinary and reproductive system infections.

3. Excessive fatigue during menstruation

During menstruation, you should pay attention to arranging your work and rest time reasonably, avoid strenuous exercise and physical labor, and combine work and rest. Excessive exertion during menstruation may lead to prolonged menstruation or excessive menstruation. On the contrary, excessive relaxation may cause stagnation of Qi and blood, which may easily lead to symptoms such as dysmenorrhea.

4. Emotional agitation during menstruation

During menstruation, you should keep a happy mood as usual, prevent mood swings, don't get excited when things happen, and it is extremely important to maintain a stable mood. For example, emotional excitement, depression and anger often cause qi stagnation, which in turn leads to late menstruation, dysmenorrhea, amenorrhea, etc.

5. Humming loudly during menstruation

During menstruation, women's respiratory mucosa becomes congested, their vocal cords also become congested and even swollen. Humming loudly or talking loudly can easily cause vocal cord muscles to fatigue.

6. Insufficient nutrition during menstruation

Because a certain amount of blood is lost every month after menstruation, it is necessary to increase nutrition appropriately, such as protein, vitamins, iron, calcium, etc. During menstruation, you should eat more eggs, lean meat, fish, soy products, fresh vegetables and fruits, etc. It is not advisable to overeat or have a certain food preference. If you eat too much spicy and yang-enhancing food, it may lead to early menstruation, menorrhagia, etc.; eating too much cold and raw food may cause dysmenorrhea, amenorrhea, and leucorrhea.

To sum up, after listening to the above introduction, you should now have some understanding of why women have abdominal pain during menstruation, so we recommend that you go to a regular hospital for examination and treatment, because only a regular hospital will be safer!
