What are the fastest ways to treat dysmenorrhea? Massage Guanyuan acupoint

In fact, it is not recommended to use any drugs to treat dysmenorrhea at present. Diet is more effective. You can also massage some acupoints. For example, Guanyuan point and Qihai point in the lower abdomen are acupoints for treating female dysmenorrhea and gynecological diseases.

Guanyuan and Qihai points in the lower abdomen are effective acupuncture points for treating gynecological diseases such as dysmenorrhea. Guanyuan point is 3 inches below the navel, and Qihai point is about 1.5 inches below the navel. When you suffer from dysmenorrhea, you can press these two acupoints with your thumbs, or you can use a spare hot water bottle or electric heating pad at home to apply heat to relieve the pain.

The Hegu point on the hand is an effective acupuncture point for relieving dysmenorrhea. It is particularly suitable for use in public places such as study, meeting and workplace. Hegu point is the best acupuncture point for relieving pain. It will be painful when pressing here during dysmenorrhea. When finding the acupoint, put the thumb and other four fingers of one hand together, and press on the raised area of ​​the muscle on the back of the thumb and index finger (it will feel painful when pressed lightly). When massaging, use the thumb of your other hand to press 20 times, 40 times in total for both hands, until you feel soreness or discomfort. Please note that people with poor physical constitution should not receive strong stimulation, and pregnant women should not undergo massage.

Sanyinjiao on the calf is a commonly used acupoint for relieving dysmenorrhea. It is the intersection of the Taiyin spleen meridian of the foot, the Shaoyin kidney meridian of the foot, and the Jueyin liver meridian of the foot. It is three inches directly above the tip of the inner ankle, on the posterior edge of the tibia, one on each side. It has health benefits such as strengthening the spleen and blood, regulating the liver and nourishing the kidneys, calming the nerves and promoting sleep. Through my clinical practice, I found that it is quite effective in relieving dysmenorrhea. When locating the acupoint, use four fingers together to measure along the leg from the inner ankle upwards, until you can feel a painful point with your hand. Generally, the pain will be relieved after pressing for 3-5 minutes.

The Diji point on the calf is also an effective acupuncture point for relieving dysmenorrhea. It is a Xi point on the spleen meridian of the foot Taiyin, located 3 inches below the Yinlingquan point. It has the effects of strengthening the spleen, eliminating dampness, regulating menstruation and stopping leukorrhea. It is suitable for irregular menstruation, dysmenorrhea, vaginitis and other symptoms. When locating the acupoint, use four fingers together to measure downward along Yinlingquan, until you can feel a painful point with your hand. Note that you need to use the tip of your thumb to dig inward along the bone to achieve a noticeable effect.
