Abdominal pain after menstruation

It is normal to experience dysmenorrhea occasionally during menstruation, because it is a normal physiological reaction. However, if dysmenorrhea occurs after menstruation, you should consider that it is caused by incomplete blood discharge or poor blood circulation. You need to go to the hospital to check the cause first, eat foods that nourish the blood and vitality, eat more fish, supplement iron, and regulate your body.

Effectively relieve menstrual cramps. You must know the following five foods:

1. Blood-replenishing foods: Blood loss occurs during menstruation. If the menstrual flow is heavy, the blood loss is particularly severe. The blood contains plasma protein, potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron and other substances, so simply supplementing iron may not be effective. Patients with abdominal pain need to eat some blood-enriching foods, such as beef, longan, eggs, seafood, angelica, etc.

2. Foods that replenish Qi and soothe the liver: If you do not pay attention to conditioning during menstruation, it is very easy to cause a variety of adverse symptoms due to the stagnation of liver Qi, such as insomnia, irritability, bad mood, etc., which can seriously affect work and life efficiency. At this time, patients with abdominal pain should eat more foods that replenish qi and soothe the liver, such as Chinese yam, black fungus, celery, grapefruit, mushrooms, etc.

3. Eat more fish: The reason why women experience symptoms such as depression and irritability during menstruation is because their endocrine hormones change due to the influence of menstruation. Experts have found that a substance called fatty acids can effectively balance endocrine hormones, relieve depression in patients with abdominal pain, and thus inhibit the onset of depression. Fatty acids are abundant in some fish, such as salmon and sardines.

4. Foods rich in iron: During menstruation, the human body loses a lot of iron and blood. At this time, eating iron-rich foods can promote the synthesis of hemoglobin and avoid iron deficiency. Plants such as soybeans and spinach are rich in iron, but the absorption rate of plant iron in the human body is low. Therefore, patients with abdominal pain are best to eat iron-rich animal foods, such as fresh fish, lean meat, animal liver, animal blood, etc. These foods have strong biological activity and are easily absorbed by the human body. Among fruits, cherries have the highest iron content. Patients with abdominal pain can eat more cherries during menstruation.

5. Foods that soothe the nerves and relieve mood: Women often feel irritable and emotionally disturbed during menstruation. At this time, eating foods that can soothe the nerves and relieve mood can alleviate these symptoms. Bananas not only have a calming effect, but eating more of them can also make the body produce a substance that makes people feel happy, thus solving the problem of irritability. In addition, milk also has the effect of clearing the mind and calming the nerves. Patients with abdominal pain can effectively relieve various discomfort symptoms by drinking a glass of hot milk before going to bed. It would be better if honey is added to milk, because the magnesium in honey has a calming effect and is also effective for dysmenorrhea.

The above is a detailed introduction to "You must know these five foods to effectively relieve menstrual abdominal pain". I hope it can help the majority of patients and friends. Patients who suffer from abdominal pain during menstruation can effectively relieve the symptoms of abdominal pain by paying more attention to dietary care in their daily lives.
