What should I do if I have abdominal pain during menstruation?

I believe that every female friend is familiar with the menstrual period. However, the emotions I feel each time I face it are very different. During our women's menstrual period, some physical conditions often occur suddenly and are difficult to predict, but we need to be aware of prevention. Today, I will teach you how to deal with symptoms such as abdominal pain during menstruation and what effective measures we should take.

Avoid alcohol If you are prone to edema during menstruation, alcohol will aggravate the problem. Don't drink alcohol. If you must drink, limit it to 1-2 glasses of wine.

Do not use diuretics. Many women think that diuretics can reduce menstrual swelling and discomfort. Diuretics remove important minerals from the body along with water. Doctors recommend reducing your intake of salt, alcohol and other substances that cause water retention in the body.

Stay Warm Keeping your body warm will increase blood circulation and relax your muscles, especially in the pelvic area, which can be spasmodic and congested. Drink plenty of hot herbal tea or hot lemon juice. You can also place a heating pad or hot water bottle on your abdomen for a few minutes at a time.

How can a mineral bath relieve menstrual cramps? Add 1 cup of sea salt and 1 cup of sodium bicarbonate to a tub of warm water. Soaking for 20 minutes can help relax muscles and relieve menstrual cramps.

Exercise, especially before your period, such as walking or engaging in other moderate exercise, will make you more comfortable during your period.

Practicing yoga also has a relaxing effect. Here are some examples. Kneel down with your knees bent, sitting on your heels. Rest your forehead on the ground and stretch your arms out at your sides. Hold this position until you feel uncomfortable.

Taking painkillers can relieve menstrual cramps. When menstrual cramps start, take it with a little milk or food (1 tablet) to avoid stomach upset, and continue taking it until the menstrual cramps disappear.

I wonder if you have mastered some convenient and common methods from the methods I gave above to deal with dysmenorrhea that may occur in our lives. During the menstrual period, we women need to pay special attention to keeping warm, and adjust our diet and daily routine well in order to live a healthy life.
