Can I massage during menstruation?

There are always a few days every month when women feel weak all over, sore in the waist and knees, and particularly uncomfortable. Yes, that is the menstruation that accompanies women every month. During these days, due to excessive blood loss and some other factors, women always feel very tired, can't lift their spirits, and have no strength to do things. They really want to improve this situation through some methods. In fact, during menstruation, proper and correct massage can achieve this goal.

In short, I feel very depressed during these days of menstruation. Don't worry, here's how to massage some parts of your body during menstruation to effectively relieve the pain of dysmenorrhea, and it can also warm your uterus!

1. Lower abdomen

Generally speaking, most women who experience dysmenorrhea during their menstrual period will choose to cover their stomachs, thinking that this can relieve the symptoms of dysmenorrhea to a certain extent. In fact, for some women with dysmenorrhea symptoms, we might as well try massaging the lower abdomen.

Menstrual blood is produced by the shedding of the endometrium. When menstrual blood stagnates, it will cause dysmenorrhea. The lower abdomen is an important part of the uterus, so massaging the lower abdomen can promote the increase of lower abdominal temperature, which is beneficial to the smooth flow of qi and blood, so that the blocked menstrual blood can be discharged more smoothly. Therefore, dysmenorrhea caused by qi stagnation and blood stasis can be relieved.

Note: When massaging the lower abdomen, you should rub your hands together to warm them up first, or apply a hot compress to the lower abdomen first. This will make the massage more effective and is an effective way to avoid the invasion of cold air.

2. Waist

It is very common to experience back pain during menstruation, and the pelvic cavity is also in a state of congestion during menstruation, so it is not suitable to tap the waist. Instead, you might as well skillfully massage the acupoints on the waist, which can also relieve back pain and achieve the effect of warming the uterus.

There is a concave area on the left and right sides of the spinous process of the third vertebra in the back. This is the acupuncture point where the waist eye is located. When massaging this point, it can promote heat in the back and effectively relieve low back pain under the action of heat. And by continuously increasing body temperature, it can also have a certain nourishing and warming effect on the uterus.

Note: When massaging the waist, use gentle force with your hands and do not use too much force.
