How to deal with dysmenorrhea

Dysmenorrhea is a problem faced by many women during menstruation, but we can relieve the symptoms through some methods. Drug relief, hot compress, diet therapy and exercise can effectively improve the condition of dysmenorrhea.

The main cause of dysmenorrhea is uterine contraction. When the endometrium is shed, uterine contraction causes blood vessels to contract and blood supply is insufficient, which causes pain. In addition, hormone imbalance, emotional instability, malnutrition, etc. can also affect the degree of dysmenorrhea. According to the causes of dysmenorrhea, we can take some measures to relieve it.

1. Medication relief and hot compress: Some over-the-counter drugs such as ibuprofen and paracetamol can effectively relieve the discomfort caused by dysmenorrhea. Hot compress is also a simple and effective relief method. You can use a hot water bottle to apply to the abdomen to help relax the uterine muscles and relieve pain.

2. Diet therapy and proper exercise: Some foods such as ginger, brown sugar, and longan have the effect of warming the uterus and regulating qi. They can be consumed in moderation during menstruation to relieve dysmenorrhea symptoms. Proper exercise such as yoga and stretching exercises can promote blood circulation and relieve menstrual discomfort.

Note: Avoiding cold stimulation during menstruation can help relieve dysmenorrhea symptoms, and keeping warm can also help soothe uterine muscles. Emotional regulation is also important, and keeping a good mood can reduce physical pain. Regular check-ups are also critical. If dysmenorrhea seriously affects your daily life, it is recommended to seek medical attention in time to find a more appropriate treatment.
