What are some simple ways to relieve menstrual cramps?

In the case of dysmenorrhea, it can be improved through proper rest, strengthening warmth, local massage, oral medication, etc. Dysmenorrhea is an experience that many women have had. If the symptoms are mild, no special treatment is generally required. However, if the symptoms are more severe, it may affect normal life and work, and active and effective measures need to be taken to treat and improve it.

First, take adequate rest: rest as much as possible during dysmenorrhea, and if necessary, you can choose to rest in bed, which can effectively relieve the symptoms of local pain. If you still work during menstruation, especially if you engage in heavy labor for a long time or often stay up late, your body will be in a state of fatigue, which will aggravate the symptoms of dysmenorrhea over time.

Second, keep warm: Abdominal cold is actually one of the common causes of dysmenorrhea. Therefore, if you want to effectively relieve the symptoms of dysmenorrhea, you can also improve it by keeping your abdomen warm. Usually, you need to add clothes according to weather changes, especially in autumn and winter. Do not wear belly-exposing clothes to prevent the abdomen from being stimulated by cold and aggravating the symptoms of dysmenorrhea.

Third, local massage: If menstrual blood is not discharged smoothly, the symptoms of dysmenorrhea will be aggravated. Local massage can be used to improve this. Before massage, you need to rub your hands to warm them up, then place them on the abdomen and massage in a clockwise direction. This can better relax the abdominal muscles, promote local blood circulation, help menstrual blood to be discharged smoothly, and then the adverse symptoms of menstruation will be significantly alleviated.

Fourth, oral medication: If the symptoms of dysmenorrhea are severe, you can take oral medication to relieve the pain, such as ibuprofen tablets, Yuanhu analgesic tablets, etc. For dysmenorrhea caused by uterine cold, you can take Nuan Gong Qiwei San orally to warm the uterus. In the case of liver depression and qi stagnation, you need to take Danzhi Xiaoyan Pills orally for symptomatic treatment.
