Practicing yoga can relieve menstrual cramps in women

Yoga is an aerobic exercise that helps you cultivate your body and mind, and is also a common way for urban white-collar workers to relieve stress and relax. In fact, practicing yoga can also relieve the symptoms of dysmenorrhea in women.

1. Regulate endocrine

Yoga exercises have an important regulatory effect on the human endocrine system. Since cortisol has the function of promoting the body's resistance to stress or anxiety, during yoga exercises, the secretion of cortisol increases, which causes the secretion of adrenaline to decrease, thus avoiding the body's over-awakening and excessive emotional reactions, thereby indirectly making the patient's psychological and emotional state more relaxed and stable, and changing the impetuous and impulsive mentality. Yoga's special breathing method also has the effect of stabilizing the autonomic nervous system, which helps to divert the patient's pain, stabilize emotions, and relieve emotions, thereby improving symptoms such as dysmenorrhea.

2. Relieve muscle tension

Women who suffer from severe dysmenorrhea are in a sub-healthy state. In addition to conventional hospital treatment, the meditation function of yoga can help patients relieve their subconscious anxiety, relax their brains, release stress, and eliminate sub-health conditions such as menstrual insomnia and headaches caused by tension and anxiety.

In addition, yoga relaxation exercises are similar to progressive muscle relaxation training. During the practice, they relax the patient's nerves and muscles, relieve muscle soreness, weakness, abdominal pain and other menstrual discomforts, and achieve the purpose of relaxing the body and mind.
