For women, there is a painful and unbearable period every month, which is the menstrual period. Although menstruation is a normal phenomenon, if there are blood clots, blood stasis, etc., it can cause dysmenorrhea. Dysmenorrhea can be said to torment women, so what can we do to relieve it and make the body less uncomfortable? Let's take a look together.
1. Drink more hot water
Develop the habit of drinking plenty of hot water in daily life. When you have free time, take small sips of hot water because sufficient hydration can accelerate the body's metabolism, and hot water can help the body heat up. Therefore, girls with dysmenorrhea can give it a try.
2. Premenstrual medication
For women with severe menstrual cramps, taking some warming medication before menstruation can help alleviate the symptoms.
3. Eat less cold food before menstruation
Eat less spicy, stimulating, or cool food before menstruation, and ice cream is strictly prohibited. Improper diet before menstruation can easily cause blood stasis and poor blood flow during menstruation, leading to dysmenorrhea. Try to use foods that warm and nourish yin, as this is the best for the body.
4. Massage
Massage can relieve menstrual pain. Lay a blanket on the ground, lie prone on the blanket, keep your whole body relaxed, stretch your legs straight, and try not to make your body feel uncomfortable. Then slowly push the massage along the pelvic ridge towards your feet, once backward and once forward, to relieve menstrual pain. At the same time, acupoints such as Qi Hai, Guan Yuan, Intermediate, San Yin Jiao, Yin Ling Quan can also be massaged.
5. Hot compress
Using a warm baby or hot water bag to apply hot compress to the lower abdomen for about 15 minutes can promote pelvic blood circulation and alleviate pain, which is an effective way to relieve dysmenorrhea.
6. Balanced diet
Although a healthy diet cannot completely eliminate dysmenorrhea, it can improve it. Do not eat junk food that is too sweet or salty, as these foods can invisibly steal your health. It is best to eat some healthy and nutritious food in daily life, which can help you reduce the degree of menstrual pain as much as possible during menstruation.
