Why do I feel sore all over before my period?

Menstruation is a barometer of our female health. It comes every month, but before the menstruation comes, our body will show some reactions to tell us that menstruation is coming. At this time, we need to do a good job of prevention to avoid putting ourselves in an embarrassing situation. Some friends experience dysmenorrhea during menstruation, but feel bloated and painful in the lower abdomen before menstruation. What is the reason?

Is it normal to have abdominal pain before menstruation?

Women experience lower abdominal distension and pain before or after each menstrual period, and may even feel nausea, vomiting, and be unable to rest normally. This is called dysmenorrhea in traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that when menstruation comes, the Chong, Ren, Qi and blood change drastically, and the blood sea goes from full to overflowing, and from overflowing to empty. At this time, if there is a predominance of cold or heat, deficiency or excess in the physical constitution, it is easy to be invaded by external evils, and with the interference of organic factors, the Chong, Ren, Baogong, Qi and blood will not run smoothly and lack nourishment, resulting in pain due to lack of nourishment.

Since the beginning of menstruation, you should learn and understand some health knowledge, have a correct understanding of the physiological phenomenon of menstruation, eliminate fear and tension, which can prevent the occurrence of primary dysmenorrhea or increase the pain threshold to reduce the degree of pain. Pay attention to menstrual and sexual hygiene, prevent ascending infection during menstruation and childbirth, and actively prevent and treat diseases that may cause menstrual blood retention.

During menstruation, you should pay attention to keeping warm, avoid cold, cool, raw, and cold stimulation to prevent the invasion of cold evil; pay attention to rest, reduce fatigue, strengthen nutrition, and enhance physical fitness; you should try to control drastic emotional fluctuations, avoid strong mental stimulation, and keep a happy mood; you should avoid excessive sexual intercourse at ordinary times, and sexual intercourse is absolutely prohibited during menstruation.

During menstruation, you should pay attention to diet regulation. Avoid eating raw, cold and cool foods before and during menstruation to avoid cold stagnation and blood stasis which may aggravate dysmenorrhea. Those with heavy menstrual flow should not eat spicy and dry foods to avoid heat forcing blood circulation and causing more severe bleeding. Also, be careful not to abuse medication and treat the disease based on the cause of the dysmenorrhea.

It is normal to experience bloating and pain in the lower abdomen before menstruation, which is the same as dysmenorrhea during menstruation. However, it is recommended that our female friends go to the hospital regularly to check their bodies to avoid some common gynecological diseases. If any abnormal conditions occur, we can discover them in time so that our bodies can be kept healthier.
