Menstruation is a normal physiological phenomenon that occurs in every mature woman after the shedding of the endometrium every month. However, due to a series of subtle changes within the body, women's bodies may have different reactions before, during, and after menstruation. So, what should be done if there is leg pain during menstruation?
1. Pay attention to keeping warm. Before and after menstruation, there are varying degrees of changes in the secretion of qi, blood, and hormones in the female body. Many women have a habit of wearing skirts or thin clothes. If they experience leg coldness during menstruation, it can easily cause leg pain and even insufficient blood circulation in the legs.
2. Pay attention to taking more rest. Most women in their menstrual cycle experience a decline in their immune system and physical strength. Consuming too much energy during this period, or prolonged walking or leg exertion, can lead to discomfort in the legs. Women in their menstrual cycle should rest more and reduce excessive leg exertion.
3. Dysmenorrhea. Some women have a habit of experiencing abdominal pain before, during, or after their menstrual cycle. At this time, the abdominal pain may be caused by the uterus being cold or the endometrium shedding. Some may even extend to the groin and thighs. For severe cases, women need to consult with doctors at the hospital to find specific ways to solve dysmenorrhea.
