What should I do if I have menstrual cramps as an unmarried person?

It is very normal for unmarried women to experience dysmenorrhea, because many young girls have experienced dysmenorrhea, which is also caused by irregular menstruation. Unmarried women must choose professional treatment methods for dysmenorrhea. It is best to choose traditional Chinese medicine. Dysmenorrhea can be relieved through massage every time menstruation comes.

1. Massage method. When you have dysmenorrhea, you can try to relieve it by massage. The specific method is as follows: Lie prone on the bed, completely relax your body, stretch your arms, and point your toes inward. Let a friend touch the upper pelvic ridge on your back and gently push towards your feet. Pay attention to the strength during the massage. It should be appropriate, not too strong or too weak. Too little strength will not relieve dysmenorrhea, and too much strength will compress the pelvis and injure the spine. Or you can use your thumb to press the acupoints on the navel for half a minute on each point; then lie on your back and use your right palm to massage the lower abdomen for about 3 minutes, and then push from the navel to the pubic symphysis for half an hour. This massage method is suitable to be started one week before menstruation, so that the effect will be ideal.

2. Diet. Treating dysmenorrhea through diet is a good method. During dysmenorrhea, you should maintain a balanced diet, avoid eating foods that are too sweet or too salty, and avoid eating foods containing caffeine, as they will make you nervous and easily lead to menstrual discomfort. Especially during dysmenorrhea, you should eat less or no caffeinated foods; eat more vegetables, fruits, chicken, fish, and eat some bananas properly, which can relieve abdominal pain and help stabilize your mood; drink a cup of hot milk with a spoonful of honey before going to bed to relieve the pain of dysmenorrhea.

3. Acupressure. Some acupressure points on the feet are connected to the qi pathways in the pelvic area. There are acupressure points in the depressions on both sides of the ankles. When you experience dysmenorrhea, gently pinch them with your thumb and other fingertips, then move up along the Achilles tendon to the calf muscles, alternating between your feet and applying pressure for several minutes on each side.
