When a woman starts menstruating during puberty, it means that her reproductive organs have matured, she has the ability to ovulate, and can conceive. Because women have different personal body constitutions, their conditions during menstruation are also different. Some women have normal menstruation with mild pain that does not affect their lives, while some women have severe abdominal pain during menstruation, which is called dysmenorrhea. For dysmenorrhea, we can drink brown sugar water and apply a hot water bag. 1. You can use a hot water bottle to heat your abdomen to relieve dysmenorrhea By applying hot compress, blood vessels can be dilated, and blood circulation in the abdomen can be promoted, which can relieve dysmenorrhea. 2. Massage the lower abdomen to relieve dysmenorrhea You can rub your hands together to generate heat, then stroke your lower abdomen in a clockwise direction until your palms are no longer hot. Repeat several times. 3. Massage related acupoints to relieve dysmenorrhea You can rub your hands together to generate heat and then alternately massage the Shenshu and Mingmen points. You can also press and rub the Zusanli and Sanyinjiao points. Massaging these points can relieve dysmenorrhea. 4. Appropriate physical exercise can relieve dysmenorrhea Some people think that if you are suffering from dysmenorrhea and still do exercise, won’t the pain be aggravated? Of course, it is not recommended to exercise when you have dysmenorrhea, but you can do appropriate exercise at other times to improve your physical fitness and help relieve dysmenorrhea. How to relieve menstrual cramps 1. Pain causes sympathetic nerve tension and vasoconstriction, and vasoconstriction and poor blood circulation further aggravate dysmenorrhea, forming a vicious circle. Suggestion: Warming up the body and using a foot bath can help relieve dysmenorrhea. This is also one of the five tricks to deal with dysmenorrhea. Warming up the body by drinking hot water, wearing more clothes, etc. can dilate blood vessels, speed up blood flow, and counteract the contraction of uterine smooth muscles, thereby reducing pain. Experiments have confirmed that the analgesic effect of heating the body while taking a placebo is comparable to that of taking oral analgesics. If you take oral analgesics while heating the body, the drug's effectiveness can be advanced by half. 2. Studies have found that brain tension can reduce the body's tolerance to pain, so the severity of dysmenorrhea is directly proportional to brain tension. Functional MRI studies have further confirmed that the area of the brain that feels other people's pain is the same as the area that feels your own pain, which means that seeing others have menstrual cramps may make your own cramps worse. Suggestion: Avoid the person who is in pain; watch a hilarious comedy to relax your brain. When we concentrate on a movie, a large amount of endorphins are produced in the body, which can cut off pain signals and temporarily relieve pain; once we feel happy, the body releases dopamine, which activates the brain cell membranes and exerts a pain-relieving effect. 3. During menstruation, women's estrogen levels drop to the lowest level, and their tolerance for pain also drops to the lowest level, which makes menstrual pain more unbearable than pain at any other time. Recommendation: Use natural foods to supplement estrogen. Women's tolerance to pain is closely related to the amount of estrogen in their bodies. Supplementing estrogen through natural foods can increase women's tolerance to pain. |
