Why do I feel pain on the first day of menstruation?

Women have a menstrual period of about a week every month. This period is quite painful for many women because they suffer from dysmenorrhea. However, many female friends have also discovered that dysmenorrhea does not always last. On the contrary, it only lasts on the first day, or even only half a day, which puzzles many people. In fact, this is a normal process. If women encounter this situation, don’t panic. Here are some tips for dealing with dysmenorrhea on the first day.

What to do if you have dysmenorrhea on the first day of menstruation

1. Massage method. When you have dysmenorrhea, you can try to relieve it by massage. The specific method is as follows: Lie prone on the bed, completely relax your body, stretch your arms, and point your toes inward. Let a friend touch the upper pelvic ridge on your back and gently push towards your feet. Pay attention to the strength during the massage. It should be appropriate, not too strong or too weak. Too little strength will not relieve dysmenorrhea, and too much strength will compress the pelvis and injure the spine. Or you can use your thumb to press the acupoints on the navel for half a minute on each point; then lie on your back and use your right palm to massage the lower abdomen for about 3 minutes, and then push from the navel to the pubic symphysis for half an hour. This massage method is suitable to be started one week before menstruation, so that the effect will be ideal.
