Here are some ways to relieve menstrual pain:

I believe that some young women have experienced menstrual pain before. Sometimes it is very uncomfortable when it occurs. It is really hard to stand or sit. So what are the causes of menstrual pain and what is the most direct way to relieve menstrual pain? Next, I will give you a detailed introduction.

Causes of menstrual pain

1. Narrow cervical canal: Narrow cervical canal in women will cause menstrual flow to be irregular and cause pain, that is, dysmenorrhea.

2. Uterine hypoplasia: Uterine hypoplasia can cause abnormal blood supply, leading to ischemia and lack of oxygen in the uterus, causing uterine muscle spasms and contraction, and then causing menstrual pain.

3. Gynecological diseases: such as endometriosis and pelvic inflammatory disease, which can affect menstrual flow and cause menstrual pain.

4. Contraceptive tools: If there is an IUD in the body, the menstrual pain will be aggravated.

5. Excessive work pressure: The mind is in a state of tension and anxiety, and seems to be more sensitive to pain.

6. Eating cold food: Eating cold food will stimulate the uterus to contract excessively, affecting the normal discharge of menstruation, and causing menstrual pain.

7. Irregular work and rest schedule: It is very easy to cause endocrine imbalance, which is often manifested as irregular menstruation and menstrual pain.

8. Love of alcohol and cigarettes: The ingredients in tobacco and alcohol are factors that affect the physiological process of menstruation and can easily cause menstrual pain.

9. Excessive exercise: Excessive exercise during menstruation may cause menstruation to flow back from the uterus into the pelvis, leading to endometriosis and causing menstrual pain.

10. Genetic factors: Menstrual pain may be genetically inherited. There is a certain correlation between women's menstrual pain and their mother's menstrual pain.

The most immediate way to relieve menstrual pain is as follows:

1. Take painkillers: When menstrual pain begins, women can take painkillers together with milk or food. The painkillers take effect in about 20-30 minutes and last for about 12 hours. This method is not recommended for long-term use.

2. Massage technique: Rub the patient's palms against each other until they become warm, and massage the lower abdomen below the navel in a clockwise direction for about 200 times. Or press and rub the Zusanli and Sanyinjiao points for 1 minute each.

3. Hot compress method: Hot compress on the lower abdomen can help relieve uterine cramps, promote abdominal blood circulation, and relieve dysmenorrhea. If you use heated Chinese medicine for hot compress, the actual effect of promoting blood circulation, dredge meridians, regulating qi and relieving pain will be better.

In addition to the above methods, if you want to better relieve menstrual pain, you can also adjust it through diet. You can try drinking motherwort tea, or eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and foods that replenish blood, qi and iron, ensure the intake of vitamins and proteins, and develop a good lifestyle and ensure adequate sleep, which is also very effective in relieving menstrual pain.
