What should girls do if they have stomach pain during menstruation?

When we were in school, we would find that some girls always feel very bad for a few days in a month. At this time, everyone should instantly understand that the girl has her period. Careful friends will also find that there are very few girls who do not have abdominal pain during their period. So why do girls have menstrual pain? Why can some people who are in pain only lie in bed? Below, the editor will introduce to you why girls have menstrual pain and how to relieve menstrual pain.

Generally speaking, adolescent girls will experience slight abdominal pain, back pain, or feel a little sleepy during menstruation after their menarche. These are normal physiological reactions. However, if the pain is unbearable, your face turns pale, your hands and feet are cold, and you experience nausea and vomiting, it is medically known as "dysmenorrhea" and you should go to the hospital to find out the cause of the dysmenorrhea in time.

Generally speaking, in the 1 to 2 years after the first menstruation, dysmenorrhea may occur because the uterus has not yet developed well, or the cervical canal is narrow so that menstrual blood cannot flow out smoothly, or the uterus is in an abnormal position or the uterus contracts too strongly during menstruation. Some girls become nervous and afraid of stomach pain when their period is about to come, which results in dysmenorrhea. There are also genetic factors. For example, if the mother has dysmenorrhea, the daughter will also have dysmenorrhea.

What to do when you have menstrual pain

Once dysmenorrhea occurs, first, do not panic or be nervous, and second, you must see a doctor for treatment. You should pay attention to physical exercise, strengthen your physical fitness, live a regular life, combine work and rest, strengthen nutrition, and ensure adequate sleep; pay attention to keeping warm during menstruation, do not do strenuous exercise, do not take cold baths or swim; eliminate the fear of menstruation and relax. When dysmenorrhea occurs, you can apply a hot water bottle to your abdomen, drink some brown sugar ginger water, or take appropriate painkillers. If you have severe dysmenorrhea, you must go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment.
