What are the treatments for dysmenorrhea?

With the continuous progress of society, many women feel particularly stressed at work, which is often prone to dysmenorrhea, seriously affecting women's physical and mental health. Sometimes it even leads to abnormal functioning. Therefore, the treatment of dysmenorrhea is also very important. However, there are many ways to treat dysmenorrhea, including Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine. Let us learn about the treatments for dysmenorrhea.

What are the treatments for dysmenorrhea?

1. Keep yourself warm. Warming up your body by drinking hot water, wearing more clothes, etc. can dilate blood vessels, speed up blood flow, and counteract the contraction of uterine smooth muscles, thereby reducing the occurrence of pain.

2. Watch comedies to relax your brain. When we concentrate on a movie, a large amount of dopamine is produced in the body, which can cut off the pain signal and temporarily relieve the pain; once we feel happy, the body will release dopamine, which activates the brain cell membrane and exerts a pain-relieving effect.

3. Eat more vegetarian food. Studies have found that a low-fat diet rich in vegetables, beans, etc. can change the binding globulin that regulates sex hormones in the body, thereby reducing the synthesis of substances that cause dysmenorrhea. Soybeans, in particular, are rich in a type of plant estrogen, which has the most significant effect in inhibiting dysmenorrhea.

4. Keep your head low and hips high. When you experience dysmenorrhea, you should kneel on the bed and raise your hips. Maintaining this head-low-hip-high posture can improve the retroverted position of the uterus, facilitate the outflow of menstrual blood, relieve pelvic congestion, and alleviate some symptoms of pain and discomfort in the waist and back.

5. Learn the Cobra Movement. It can strengthen the abdominal muscles and withstand the pain caused by uterine contractions, and has a relieving effect. It can avoid excessive blood flow and relieve abdominal discomfort.

6. Crawl slowly. It can relieve the pain of uterine contractions and relax the abdominal muscles. By crawling slowly, you can practice breathing to relieve menstrual cramps.

Menstruation is particularly important for women, but often because of dysmenorrhea, women love and hate it. Through understanding the treatment methods of dysmenorrhea, we must choose the treatment method that suits our own situation. At the same time, in order to relieve the pain brought by dysmenorrhea, we must pay attention to maintaining good living habits, don’t always eat raw and cold food, and also pay attention to keeping the body warm.
