What are the symptoms of menstruation?

Menstruation generally has symptoms such as vaginal bleeding, mood changes, and abdominal pain.

1. Vaginal bleeding:

Due to the characteristics of women, when hormones change, endometrial shedding and vaginal bleeding are the main symptoms of menstruation. Pay attention to hygiene during menstruation, change underwear frequently, change sanitary napkins frequently, and try to keep the vulva dry and clean to avoid infection.

2. Mood changes:

Most people experience mood changes such as depression, anxiety, irritability, etc., which are mainly related to changing hormone levels. If this happens, go for a walk and relax your mind.

3. Abdominal pain:

When menstruation comes, the level of prostaglandins in the endometrium increases, causing excessive contraction of the uterine smooth muscle and leading to uterine ischemia. If the patient has abdominal pain, it can generally be relieved by drinking more boiled water, applying hot compresses to the abdomen, avoiding cold drinks such as frozen drinks, frozen fruits, ice cream, strong tea, etc., and avoiding spicy and irritating foods such as pepper, raw garlic, hot pot, etc. to prevent abdominal pain from worsening.

In addition to the above symptoms, breast pain, diarrhea, headache and other discomforts may also occur. Pay attention to keeping warm and rest in bed. You can take ginger water and brown sugar to drink, which can play the role of warming the middle and dispelling cold, replenishing blood and activating blood circulation, and relieving pain. If the abdominal pain is unbearable, it is recommended to seek medical attention in time and treat the primary disease.
