How to treat stomach pain during menstruation

Many women experience abdominal pain during their periods. Generally speaking, most women experience abdominal pain during menstruation due to dysmenorrhea. If you have severe abdominal pain during your period and also experience it frequently at other times, then you may have gynecological inflammation and you should have regular checkups and diagnosis as soon as possible. Ladies all know that stomach pain during menstruation is very unbearable, so how can we relieve the pain?

What should I do if I have menstrual pain?

1. Heat and massage

When you have your period, you can put a hand warmer or a heat pack on your abdomen for a while, and then gently massage around your abdomen. This can relax muscles, promote blood circulation, and relieve pain. If the pain is severe, you can drink some brown sugar ginger water while applying hot compresses and massage, which can effectively relieve the pain.

2. Medication for pain relief

Some women experience severe menstrual pain, and are so painful that they have to bend over when standing during their period. If the pain is so severe, you can take painkillers or emergency contraception to relieve the pain. However, if you take medication to relieve pain, you should take it under the guidance of a doctor and not take it on your own.

3. Lie down with your butt raised

If you have your period and happen to be at home and have the conditions to lie down, you can do this posture to relieve the pain. Menstrual abdominal pain is closely related to pelvic congestion. Raising the buttocks when lying down can alleviate pelvic congestion and effectively relieve pain.

Women with menstrual pain should pay attention to their daily life, eat less cold and spicy foods as much as possible, and keep warm at ordinary times, especially when their period is about to come, so as not to catch a cold. You can eat more light and nourishing foods in your daily diet, such as jujube, black-bone chicken, etc., which will help improve the condition of menstrual pain.
