Where can I press to relieve dysmenorrhea?

Speaking of menstrual pain, many women suffer from it. Sometimes they are worried when it doesn't come, but when it comes, the pain is very terrible. Therefore, menstrual pain, also known as menstrual cramps, is something that women cannot get rid of. Today, the editor will mainly explain to you how to relieve dysmenorrhea.

Massage Sanyinjiao

For women, it would be best if menstrual pain can be prevented in advance. If we start massaging the Sanyinjiao acupoint a week before the menstrual period, it can help the stagnant menstruation to be discharged slowly. The Sanyinjiao point is located on the inner side of the calf, 3 inches above the tip of the inner ankle. It is very easy to distinguish. During massage, you can gently massage it for one minute until a sore and swollen feeling occurs.

Massage the waist bone

The location of the main lumbar bone is on the posterior medial web of the waist, below the transverse process of the fifth vertebra. This is also what we usually call the waist eye. By massaging this acupoint, it can promote blood circulation for us, so that when menstrual pain comes, it can have a relieving effect. Each time we massage this part, we can increase the intensity appropriately, such as massaging for about 4 minutes, and then press until there is a slight pain. However, we cannot just press, but also remember to knead.

Massage Xuehai acupoint

It is very simple to find the Xuehai point. We can first sit on a chair, then stretch our legs, and look at the dent on the inside of the knee. There is a protruding muscle in the center of the dent. This part is the Xuehai point. By massaging the Xuehai point, it can have the effect of guiding blood back to the meridians, and can help treat dysmenorrhea and lower abdominal pain. But in the case of massage, we must remember that the massage method is a gentle pressing method.

Massage Taichong acupoint

Taichong acupoint is very important for women, because it can treat many gynecological diseases. By kneading and pressing it, we can effectively relieve dysmenorrhea. The Taichong point is located between the big toe and the ring finger of the foot. By kneading this acupoint, it can also soothe the liver, regulate qi, benefit the gallbladder, and relieve pain. Massage for 3 minutes before going to bed every day can be of great help to women.
