Dysmenorrhea can be said to be the word that women hate the most. After all, it is really unbearable once a month. In fact, there are many reasons for dysmenorrhea, not only due to women themselves, but also due to external factors. Since it is impossible to completely prevent dysmenorrhea, we must find ways to deal with it. So, what should we do about dysmenorrhea? In fact, drinking hot drinks or getting a massage can provide relief. It is very common for women to experience abdominal pain during menstruation, especially on the first two days of menstruation. Not only do they have back pain and abdominal pain, but sometimes they also suffer from cold hands and feet, pale complexion, cold sweats, and even vomiting. What should I do if I have stomach pain during my period? If the stomach pain during my period is unbearable, it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately. In addition, methods such as keeping warm, acupressure massage or doing yoga can help relieve menstrual pain. 1. Stay warm Drinking a hot drink or applying a hot water bottle to your lower abdomen can help warm your body. Keeping the body warm can accelerate blood circulation, effectively relieve uterine spasms and pelvic congestion, thereby achieving a pain-relieving effect. 2. Acupressure The feet contain acupressure points that are believed to be connected to the qi pathways in the pelvic area. Gently pinch with your thumb and fingertips, and move up along the Achilles tendon to the calf muscle. Acupressure for a few minutes can effectively relieve pain. 3. Do yoga Yoga can also help relieve menstrual cramps. Kneel down with your knees bent, sitting on your heels. Rest your forehead on the ground and stretch your arms out at your sides. Maintain this position until you feel uncomfortable and your dysmenorrhea symptoms are relieved. 4. Moxibustion Choose acupoints such as Sanyinjiao and Zusanli, and hang the moxa stick at a height of about 3 cm from the acupoint to make the local area warm without burning pain. Massage each acupoint for about 10-15 minutes, until a blush appears on the skin. 5. Taking painkillers When menstrual cramps begin, women can take pain relievers with milk or food. The painkillers take effect in about 20-30 minutes and last for 12 hours. This method is not recommended for long-term use. |
