Can I rub my belly when I have menstrual cramps?

As the economic pressure on every family in today's society is increasing, many female friends have no choice but to leave their families and go out to work in society to share the responsibility for the family's economic pressure. However, strong work pressure often causes them to have some menstrual irregularities, so dysmenorrhea makes them feel very uncomfortable. So can you rub your stomach when you have dysmenorrhea? In response to this question raised by everyone, please join me in taking a look at it.

Dysmenorrhea is a very uncomfortable disease. Many women will experience this disease during their menstruation. Women with dysmenorrhea will feel bloating and pain in the lower abdomen, and some will feel severe paleness in the face, etc. In short, dysmenorrhea makes women very uncomfortable, so women also try to find ways to relieve this pain. In fact, rubbing the belly or applying a hot pack are good choices. The following introduces the specific situation.

Dysmenorrhea is a common symptom among women. Many girls lament how lucky they are not to have experienced dysmenorrhea. Every month, they experience spasmodic pain in the lower abdomen before, during, or after their periods. Some girls roll around in bed, some vomit in pain, or even faint from the pain.

Many female friends think that dysmenorrhea does not require medical treatment and can be cured by taking painkillers or just enduring it. However, they do not know that dysmenorrhea is also a manifestation of many gynecological diseases, such as endometriosis and pelvic inflammatory disease. If the cause is not found and treated in time, the disease may be delayed and cause serious consequences.

Eat more foods rich in vitamin E

After dysmenorrhea occurs, the pain can be relieved by supplementing foods rich in vitamin E, drinking moderate amounts of alcohol, and adjusting food intake according to the symptoms. Vitamin E plays a role in maintaining normal function of reproductive organs and muscle metabolism. Foods with high vitamin E content include cereal germ, wheat germ, egg yolk, beans, nuts, leafy vegetables, peanut oil, sesame oil, etc. Patients with dysmenorrhea should eat more of these foods.

Rub your belly to relieve

In addition, massage can also provide relief. People with dysmenorrhea should lie on their backs and rub their lower abdomen with the palm of their hands in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction for about 10 minutes, with a frequency of 100-200 times per minute. Then use your index or middle finger to massage the Qihai and Guanyuan points, each for about 5 minutes. After 20 minutes of treatment, a local warming sensation will be produced and the pain will be relieved.
