My legs are sore during my period

Every time a female friend has her period, the body will also have some symptoms to varying degrees, such as menstrual pain, physical weakness, back pain or leg pain, etc. Nowadays, people are under great pressure in work and life. Female friends cannot take a vacation every time they have their period, as this will delay a lot of work. How can I reduce leg soreness during menstruation? Let’s learn about it together below.

The general condition is that the body has insufficient qi and blood or muscle strain. Pay more attention to rest. Normal conditions can be treated with appropriate massage and Chinese herbal medicine.

Some women also experience dysmenorrhea on certain days of the month. Severe dysmenorrhea may even affect the patients' daily life. So how can women relieve the pain during dysmenorrhea? Here we will introduce to you how women can relieve dysmenorrhea during menstruation.

One of the four major ways to relieve dysmenorrhea is to quickly relieve pain through acupressure massage of the feet. The feet have acupressure points that connect to the pelvic air supply. In the concave areas on both sides of the ankles, use the thumbs and fingertips to gently knead from the heel to the calf muscles, and massage for a few minutes each time.

The second of the four major ways to relieve dysmenorrhea is hot compress therapy. I believe that many women who experience menstrual cramps have had this experience: when experiencing menstrual cramps, they put a hand warmer on their lower abdomen, or lie in bed with a heating blanket under their crotch to relieve the cramps! The use of hot blankets and hand warmers to treat dysmenorrhea has a history of generations, and the effect is very good. Try not to consume caffeine. The caffeine in coffee, chocolate, and tea will increase tension and cause menstrual discomfort.

The third of the four major ways to relieve dysmenorrhea is to immediately supplement with minerals such as calcium, potassium and magnesium, which can also help relieve menstrual pain. Women who take high-quality protein have less menstrual pain than those who do not. The function of magnesium is to help the human body digest and absorb calcium efficiently. Therefore, you can try to increase your calcium and magnesium intake before and during menstruation.
