What should I do if I feel a little pain down there after my first period?

Most women have their first menstruation at around the age of 13. The onset of menstruation at this time indicates that the woman has the ability to reproduce and is the beginning of maturity. Many young girls will experience great psychological pressure during their menarche, and their bodies may also experience abnormalities. For example, some girls experience pain in their lower body and don’t know what’s going on. Let’s take a look at what to do if you feel a little pain in your lower body after your menarche.

First of all, mothers should teach girls who are about menarche about the physiological and psychological knowledge of puberty, such as that menstruation is a normal physiological phenomenon for every woman. And explain that discomforts such as back pain, drowsiness, fatigue, and weakness that occur during menarche are normal phenomena, so avoid worrying and increasing your psychological burden.

Secondly, let my daughter pay attention to rest, ensure adequate sleep time, and eat nutritious meals that are easy to digest and absorb, which is very beneficial for the recovery of physical strength and energy.

Third, guide the selection of menstrual hygiene products and use high-quality sanitary napkins. Never use inferior products for the sake of saving money, and never use ordinary toilet paper and straw paper that are not strictly disinfected as a substitute. Fourth, keep the area clean. Wash your lower body with clean water 1 to 2 times a day to avoid bacterial infection and fever.

Fifth, doing light and moderate exercise during menstruation can promote the body's metabolism, which is beneficial for improving blood circulation, reducing pelvic congestion and lower abdominal pain. The exercise time should be short, the amount of exercise should be small, and the exercise speed should be slow, but you should avoid participating in strenuous physical exercise to prevent excessive menstrual bleeding, dysmenorrhea, obvious back pain, and general discomfort.

In addition, mothers should take the initiative to care about their daughters' menstrual conditions, prepare menstrual products in advance, introduce menstrual hygiene knowledge in a timely manner, avoid contact with cold water, and keep warm. It is best to suspend strenuous activities such as swimming during menstruation, so that your daughter can go through the "menarche" happily and smoothly.
