Dysmenorrhea has seriously troubled modern women, especially young girls. During menstruation, mild cases may experience physical discomfort, while severe cases may be unable to get out of bed, severely affecting daily work and life. Many women believe that dysmenorrhea is a normal phenomenon and does not require treatment. Baike reminds female friends that if menstrual pain is severe, they must go to the hospital to avoid any physical damage. So, what should a girl do if she has severe menstrual pain?
1. Pay attention to diet
Food can exacerbate muscle tension, especially avoid eating too much meat. If you eat less meat before menstruation, it can also alleviate menstrual pain. Salt and saccharin foods should also be consumed in moderation. Overconsumption of these foods can cause swelling in the abdomen and breasts that does not subside, so it is better to consume them in moderation.
2. Relax your mind
Menstruation is a normal physiological phenomenon, and the onset of menstruation is a signal that the reproductive system is beginning to mature. Therefore, there is no need to worry, let alone be nervous or afraid. You should maintain a relaxed and happy mood, and do what you enjoy doing. Put the troubles and unpleasant things in daily life behind you and don't worry about them. This will relieve the pain.
3. Enhance physical fitness
Enhancing physical fitness is of great benefit in reducing or eliminating dysmenorrhea. So during menstruation, women can do some waist exercises to alleviate the pain of dysmenorrhea. Especially before the onset of menstruation, walking or engaging in other moderate activities can make the menstrual period more comfortable. Practicing yoga exercises also has a relieving effect, such as bending knees and kneeling down, sitting on the heels; Place your forehead on the ground and stretch your arms against both sides of your body. Maintain this position until you feel uncomfortable.
4. Pay attention to keeping warm
Do not take a cold during menstruation as it can worsen the pain. Keeping the body warm will accelerate blood circulation, especially in the lower body. When in pain, you can also apply hot compress to the abdomen for one minute. It can accelerate blood circulation and reduce pelvic congestion. Drink more hot water, such as hot brown sugar and fresh ginger water, which can dispel coldness and help alleviate pain.
5. Balancing work and rest
Do some appropriate physical exercise to improve your immunity, take good measures to keep warm, and avoid catching a cold.
6. Avoid eating spicy foods
If a girl experiences menstrual cramps, she should not drink alcohol, tea, or coffee at this time. Because these drinks can cause mental stress and contribute to discomfort during menstruation.
