Many women feel that abdominal pain during menstruation is abnormal and are a little worried, especially during the first two days of menstruation, when they may have some abdominal cramps and sweating. But it is a normal condition. If the pain lasts for a long time, you need to go to the hospital for a check-up. This may be the time when every woman is weakest, so in order to take care of yourself, you need to take care of it in time. What should I do if I have abdominal pain during menstruation? 1. Stay warm Drinking a hot winter drink or applying a hand warmer to your lower abdomen can help keep your body warm. Keeping the body warm can accelerate blood circulation, effectively relieve uterine cramps and pelvic hematoma, and thus have an analgesic effect. 2. Acupressure The feet have a number of acupressure points that are thought to connect with the chi in the pelvic region. Slowly pinch with your thumb and fingertips, moving up along the heel to the calf muscle. Acupressure massage for a few minutes can effectively relieve pain. 3. Practice yoga Yoga fitness can also relieve menstrual cramps. Kneel down on your bent knees and sit on your heels. Keep your forehead on the ground and your arms straight at your sides. Maintain this posture until you feel uncomfortable and the symptoms of dysmenorrhea are relieved. 4. Moxibustion Use Sanyinjiao, Zusanli and other acupoints, and hang the moxibustion patch at a height of about 3cm from the acupoints to make the part moist and hot without burning pain. Massage each acupoint for about 10-15 minutes, until a blush appears on the skin. 5. Taking painkillers When menstrual pain begins, women can take painkillers with milk or food. The painkillers take effect in about 20-30 minutes and last for about 12 hours. This method is not recommended for long-term use.
