How to relieve menstrual cramps

Dysmenorrhea has caused countless women to develop a fear of those days every month. Many women with severe dysmenorrhea need to rely on painkillers to get through their periods. However, if dysmenorrhea is treated correctly, it can effectively relieve the pain and even make the feeling of dysmenorrhea disappear. So, how to effectively relieve dysmenorrhea?

For dysmenorrhea that is not particularly serious, drinking brown sugar water or applying local heating can effectively relieve the symptoms of dysmenorrhea. However, if the symptoms are more severe, other treatment measures need to be taken, such as taking medicine. How to relieve dysmenorrhea:

1. Drink more hot water

In the past, I would have terrible stomach pain every time I had my period, but now I have really developed a habit of having a cup of water on hand every day when I go back and forth between classes. In the past, I really enjoyed the stimulation of cold water going down my stomach, but now I have learned the habit of drinking hot water in small sips when I am free. But strangely enough, since I got used to it, I really rarely have stomach pain during menstruation. I guess it is because sufficient water speeds up the body's metabolism, and hot water can also help the body generate heat, so friends who suffer from dysmenorrhea can try it~!

2. Take medicine before menstruation

I drink Yueyueshu because my dysmenorrhea was too severe, so I went to a traditional Chinese medicine hospital. I thought the old Chinese doctor told me to drink it. In order to avoid advertising suspicion, you can choose other more useful medicines

3. Use less painkillers

Painkillers not only have side effects on the body, but most importantly, people will become dependent on them. For dysmenorrhea, they are only a temporary solution and do not address the root cause. Although the stomach pain is temporarily relieved, in the long run, if dysmenorrhea occurs for a long time and painkillers are taken all the time, in the end even the painkillers will be of no use. Therefore, try to bear the pain as much as possible, and do not take painkillers unless it is unbearable.

4. Eat less cold food during menstruation

Menstrual period is very important, it determines a girl’s mental and physical state for the next month, so you should pay special attention to your diet during menstruation. Eat less pears, water chestnuts, winter melon, and bananas, and ice cream is a strict no-no! ! ! ! ! On the contrary, girls should eat more warming and nourishing foods. Oh, by the way, you can add more ginger when cooking, it is definitely good for your health!

5. Keep your body warm

This is really important! Especially in winter, we must keep our body warm, pay special attention to your feet and abdomen. If these two parts get cold, you will definitely suffer from dysmenorrhea, so remember to wear thick socks at home. You can buy abdominal warming patches or hand warmers for your abdomen. Dysmenorrhea is caused by cold air in the body, so do not let the cold air enter your body. Girls with cold hands and feet can wear a pair of breathable stockings when sleeping. Also remember to use hot water when taking a shower!

This is how to relieve dysmenorrhea. If you suffer from dysmenorrhea often, you can learn about it and try it when you have dysmenorrhea. The effect is very good. If you want to prevent dysmenorrhea, you should pay attention to your diet, especially in the week before your period, do not eat too cold or too spicy food.
