Why do I always have menstrual cramps?

Menstruation is inevitable for every woman. Every menstruation means that women become more mature. Although menstruation has many benefits for women and can promote the development of female hematopoietic function, it can also cause women to suffer from dysmenorrhea. Dysmenorrhea is very painful for women, but why does it occur? Many people don’t understand the comparison, so today I will popularize the relevant knowledge for everyone.

Dysmenorrhea occurs shortly after menarche and is sometimes closely related to psychological factors. Dysmenorrhea may also be caused by spasmodic contractions of the uterine muscles, leading to uterine ischemia. It is common in cases of uterine hypoplasia, stenosis of the cervical opening or cervical canal, and excessive uterine curvature, which make it difficult for menstrual blood to flow out, causing menstrual blood retention, thereby stimulating uterine contraction and causing dysmenorrhea. In some cases, during menstruation, the endometrium falls off in flakes. Before the menstruation, the uterus contracts strongly, causing pain. The symptoms are relieved after the menstruation, which is called membranous dysmenorrhea. Primary dysmenorrhea can usually be relieved after childbirth.

Here are some simple ways to relieve pain:

1. Hot compress: Take a hot water bottle, fill it with a little hot water, and place it on your lower abdomen to relieve pain. (Suitable for taking a nap or lying down to rest) When you are about to go to bed, be careful and don't leave it there all the time. When you fall asleep, the water will be cold and it will be useless. Take it off when you go to sleep.

2. Massage method: If you feel pain, lie down, press your abdomen with your hands, and massage gently. You can control the strength yourself and choose the one that feels most comfortable. You can massage the "Sanyinjiao acupoint" (on the calf, you can Baidu the picture to see the location)

3. Overcoming sweets: The best way is to eat some chocolate (don’t eat too much, just a few pieces when the pain is severe)

4. Brown sugar water: Mix brown sugar with boiling water. You can also heat milk or honey. If you like, it would be even better if you boil some ginger in it. Drive away the cold and protect warmth.

5. Drink boiled water: The temperature should be acceptable to you. Of course, try to make it hotter. Drinking it can warm your stomach and body, soothe your tendons and relieve pain. (Can be used with chocolate)

Therefore, dysmenorrhea is normal for women, so don’t worry too much if you experience dysmenorrhea. Of course, some effective measures can relieve dysmenorrhea. During menstruation, you should be careful not to eat cold or spicy food, and try to eat a warm and nourishing diet. And proper exercise can also effectively alleviate this situation.
