Many women experience menstrual cramps, although they are not a big problem, they can still cause significant harm to women. Dysmenorrhea can affect women's work and study, as well as their endocrine and immune systems. Therefore, timely treatment is necessary for dysmenorrhea. Is it good to use a hot water bottle to apply to the stomach for dysmenorrhea?
Applying a hot water bag to the stomach can relieve menstrual pain, and using a hot water bag can promote blood circulation around the stomach, which can alleviate the pain. However, this is only a temporary relief and cannot completely treat dysmenorrhea.
To thoroughly treat dysmenorrhea, it is necessary to first understand the causes of dysmenorrhea:
1. High work pressure, long hours of work, and frequent nervous tension can make people more sensitive to pain, and menstrual cramps can easily occur.
2. Smoking can cause vasoconstriction in the body and also lead to pain due to ischemia.
3. Irregular sleep schedule, if not rested well, can lead to physical disorders and also cause menstrual cramps.
4. Mental stress. Some women become nervous and anxious during their menstrual period, which makes them sensitive to pain and can easily lead to menstrual pain.
5. The influence of hormones. If there is excessive secretion of progesterone in the body, it will cause strong uterine contractions and also affect the outflow of menstrual blood from the uterus. Once there is excessive menstrual blood, it will stimulate the uterus and cause strong contractions, leading to dysmenorrhea.
