What should women do if they have stomach pain during menstruation?

Many female friends often experience abdominal pain during their menstrual period, which is most likely caused by menstrual cramps. Abdominal pain during menstruation can be relieved through proper massage or dietary adjustment, which is generally effective. If the stomach pain persists, it is recommended to seek medical examination and treatment in time to avoid delays due to pain caused by the disease.

What to do if a woman has stomach pain during menstruation

Many women have experienced menstrual cramps, which are caused by the violent contraction of the uterus, similar to calf cramps after fast running.

Normal menstrual cramps only last for one or two hours, or at most a day, and can be relieved by resting. However, pathological menstrual cramps may last for two or three days, so painful that you cannot move, or even go into shock.

The results of a survey conducted by the Endometriosis Association among its members showed that many women with pathological menstrual pain do not want to be women in their next life, and regard the "friend" that comes every month as a painful expectation and the "end of the world."

Treatment for abdominal pain during menstruation

Any discomfort such as abdominal pain, back pain, and dizziness during menstruation or before and after menstruation is called dysmenorrhea. Primary dysmenorrhea refers to dysmenorrhea without organic disease of the pelvic cavity, which is not harmful to health. Secondary dysmenorrhea is caused by certain genital diseases, the most common of which are endometriosis, adenomyosis, submucous uterine fibroids and cervical obstruction. After examination and treatment by a doctor, if the cause is eliminated, dysmenorrhea will disappear naturally.

In addition to seeking medical treatment, patients with dysmenorrhea also need to take care of themselves on a daily basis. The principle of self-care is to improve physical fitness and increase the body's resistance. In view of this, we must pay attention to having a regular life, moderate exercise, balanced nutrition, adequate sleep and a happy mood in our daily life. It sounds easy, but have you done it?

Diet and nutritional therapy for dysmenorrhea:

People who suffer from dysmenorrhea characterized by low back and leg pain, abdominal cramps, breast swelling and cramps should eat foods rich in vitamins B1 and B2, such as brown rice, germ rice, liver, almonds, dairy products, etc., or take synergist F as a supplement of B1 and B2. For those who usually have pelvic congestion and pain in the uterus and ovaries during menstruation, it is recommended to consume more foods rich in vitamins C and E, such as yellow and green vegetables, oranges, lemons, walnuts, almonds, wheat germ, etc. to improve pelvic blood circulation and relieve the pain of pelvic congestion.

As for those who experience pain in the entire abdomen during menstruation, they should pay special attention to their diet and nutrition on a daily basis, eat less raw, cold and greasy food, and regulate their stomach and intestines with vitamin B complex, yogurt, and table flour. People who suffer from dysmenorrhea due to anemia often experience dizziness, tinnitus, and persistent abdominal pain during menstruation. They can supplement with iron, dark green vegetables, or occasionally drink some brandy, and the dysmenorrhea can gradually improve.
