How to relieve pain during menstruation

Ways to relieve pain during menstruation include applying heat, eating a healthy diet, exercising, and relaxing.

1. Hot compress: Use a hot water bottle or a heat pack to apply to the abdomen to help soothe the uterine muscles and relieve pain. Hot compress can also promote blood circulation and relieve back pain caused by menstrual cramps.

2. Proper diet: Increasing the intake of foods rich in calcium, magnesium and other minerals, such as milk, nuts and dark green vegetables, can help relieve the pain caused by uterine contractions. At the same time, reducing the intake of greasy, spicy and cold foods can avoid aggravating the discomfort of menstrual pain.

3. Moderate exercise: moderate light exercise during menstruation, such as walking, yoga, etc., can promote menstrual blood discharge, reduce uterine pressure, and relieve pain. However, be careful to avoid strenuous exercise to avoid aggravating the pain.

4. Relax: Women often have greater mood swings during menstruation. Keeping a happy mood and reducing mental stress can help relieve the discomfort caused by menstrual pain. You can try listening to music, reading, etc. to relax.

In the process of relieving menstrual pain, women should also pay attention to personal hygiene, get enough sleep, and avoid overwork. If the pain is severe and cannot be relieved, you should seek medical attention in time to rule out other potential health problems.
