Lower abdominal pain after menstruation_ Lower abdominal pain during menstruation

Menstruation is a physiological phenomenon that every normal woman will experience, and after a woman's first menstruation, she will have menstruation every month for decades to come. Menstruation is mainly a physiological phenomenon caused by the shedding of the endometrium in the female body, so menstruation is also cyclical. Girls should know about the taboos during menstruation, but what should they do if they feel pain in the lower abdomen during menstruation?

1. Avoid strenuous exercise

The last time I saw a piece of news on Zhihu, it was about a 30-year-old woman in Changsha who ran at night during her menstrual period. The intense exercise caused bleeding in her right ovarian cyst, and the amount of bleeding reached half of her total body, about 2200ml. I was shocked after reading it. Isn't it said that the body will be weaker during the menstrual period and it is not recommended to engage in heavy labor or strenuous exercise? During the menstrual period, women only need to do some simple walking exercises. Some young women who love swimming want to go swimming during their menstruation, which is actually not impossible. If the body allows, women can use tampons to go swimming or soak in hot springs.

2. Don’t wear tight pants

It is not recommended for women to wear tight pants during menstruation. Because the menstrual period is the most vulnerable time for women's private parts. When wearing tight pants, the moisture from the private parts will not evaporate. In addition, the contamination from menstrual blood will make it easier for bacteria to invade the body and easily cause infection. Women must change their underwear and sanitary napkins frequently. Some young girls want to wear skirts during their menstrual period but are afraid of getting their skirts dirty. At this time, they can use tampons.

3. Don’t sing loudly

Women's vocal cords are also affected by sex hormones in the body. During menstruation, in addition to the changes in organs such as the uterus and breasts due to the influence of hormones, the vocal cords also change. The main manifestation is that the capillaries in the vocal cords become congested and the voice becomes very crisp. If you shout uncontrollably, the blood vessels in your vocal cords will rupture and cause bleeding. If a woman becomes very emotional, the burden on her body will increase and she will easily suffer from lower abdominal pain.

4. Avoid spicy, raw or cold food

We all know that women should not eat spicy or cold food during menstruation. Spicy and sour foods are not conducive to the discharge and smooth flow of menstrual blood. During menstruation, if you can't help eating spicy food, it may cause blood stasis. Eating raw or cold food will slow down the blood circulation in the body, thus affecting the contraction of the uterus and the discharge of menstrual blood.

Women must take good care of their bodies and keep warm during menstruation to prevent the uterus from getting cold. If you have dysmenorrhea, you should drink more hot water or put a heat pack on your stomach. If your dysmenorrhea is severe, you should go to the hospital and ask the doctor to prescribe some pain-relieving medicine.
