Pain on both sides of lower abdomen during menstruation

Women feel very uncomfortable during menstruation, and some girls will experience dysmenorrhea. Dysmenorrhea can cause cramps in the body and make it impossible to work normally. It can only be relieved by rest. If you do not pay attention to your body care during this period, you will get sick, and it will not be easy to get rid of it, so girls need to pay attention to it. So, what is the reason why girls experience pain on both sides of their lower abdomen during menstruation?

1. What to do if you have stomach pain during menstruation

When dysmenorrhea comes, the first thing you should do is warm your body. You can use a hot water bottle to warm your stomach to prevent it from getting cold. Add brown sugar to hot water and drink it while it is hot. The effect will be seen quickly. Boil ginger and fragrant flower leaves in a pot with water, then add eggs and drink it to relieve pain. If the pain is severe, take some painkillers and go to the hospital immediately.

If you only feel slight pain during menstruation, you can use simple exercises to relieve congestion in the pelvic cavity and relieve pain. At this time, you can use local hot compresses or simple exercises and walks to prevent discomfort in the lower abdomen. It is also recommended to take a small amount of painkillers.

Some girls who suffer from long-term moderate pain can, in addition to proper exercise, take painkillers before menstruation to reduce the secretion of prostaglandins and discomfort. This can also slightly improve symptoms of breast discomfort or edema.

2. Causes of abdominal pain during menstruation

1. Menarche

After menarche, girls usually experience slight abdominal pain, back pain, or feel a little sleepy during their period. These are normal physiological reactions.

2. The uterus is not yet fully developed

In the 1 to 2 years after the first menstruation, dysmenorrhea may occur mainly because the uterus has not yet developed well, or the cervical canal is narrow so that menstrual blood cannot flow out smoothly, or the uterus is in an abnormal position, or the uterus contracts too strongly during menstruation.

3. Mental stress

Many girls feel nervous and afraid of stomach pain when their menstruation is about to come, which results in dysmenorrhea. People of this type need to eliminate their fear of menstruation and relax in order to relieve dysmenorrhea.

In fact, menstruation is just a common physiological symptom for girls, and pain is also a main feature of menstruation. If you experience severe pain during your period, you can take some medication to relieve the pain. If the pain lasts for a long time, you should consider going to the hospital for treatment. You should not think that you can just endure it.
