You may not have thought that 80% of women in the world suffer from dysmenorrhea every month like you, and more than 50% of them suffer from primary dysmenorrhea like you, for which the cause cannot be found and cannot be completely cured. What you may not have expected is that it turns out that you don’t have to feel so “painful” at all and you can mobilize your whole body to relieve “dysmenorrhea”. 1. Suggestion: Avoid the person who is in pain; watch a hilarious comedy to relax your brain Studies have found that brain tension can reduce the body's tolerance to pain, so the severity of dysmenorrhea is proportional to the degree of brain tension. Functional MRI studies have further confirmed that the area of the brain that feels other people's pain is the same as the area that feels your own pain, which means that seeing others have menstrual cramps may make your own cramps worse. Analysis: When we concentrate on a movie, a large amount of endorphins are produced in the body, which can cut off pain signals and temporarily relieve pain; once we feel happy, the body releases dopamine, which activates brain cell membranes and exerts analgesic effects. 2. Recommendation: Use natural foods to supplement estrogen During menstruation, women's estrogen levels drop to the lowest level and their tolerance for pain also drops to the lowest level, which makes menstrual pain more unbearable than pain at any other time. Analysis: Women's tolerance to pain is closely related to the amount of estrogen in their bodies. Supplementing estrogen through natural foods can increase women's tolerance to pain. 3. Tip: Warm up your body Pain causes sympathetic nerve tension and vasoconstriction, and vasoconstriction and poor blood circulation in turn aggravate dysmenorrhea, forming a vicious cycle. Analysis: Warming up the body by drinking hot water, wearing more clothes, etc. can dilate blood vessels, speed up blood flow, counteract the contraction of uterine smooth muscles, and thus relieve pain. Experiments have shown that heating the body while taking a placebo orally can have an analgesic effect comparable to that of taking analgesics orally. If analgesics are taken orally while heating the body, the drug's onset time can be advanced by half. 4. Tips: Keep your head low and your hips high If menstrual blood cannot flow out of the cervix smoothly, but is retained in the uterus and flows out slowly, it will cause pelvic congestion, aggravating menstrual pain and back pain. Analysis: When experiencing dysmenorrhea, kneeling on the bed and raising the hips, maintaining this posture with the head low and the hips high can improve the retroverted position of the uterus, facilitate the outflow of menstrual blood, relieve pelvic congestion, and reduce pain and back discomfort symptoms. 5. Recommendation: Eat light and easy-to-digest food The stress response caused by constipation speeds up the peristalsis of the digestive tract, stimulates the uterus to contract tensely, causes short-term severe pain or aggravates dysmenorrhea symptoms. Analysis: Eating light, easily digestible food and keeping bowel movements open can help prevent menstrual pain symptoms from worsening due to violent digestive tract movements. |
