The term “aunt” generally refers to a woman’s menstrual period. Edema during menstruation can be relieved by resting, applying hot compresses and adjusting diet.
1. Rest: Hormone levels change during menstruation, which can easily cause water and sodium retention leading to edema. Overexertion may aggravate edema, so rest should be paid attention to during menstruation to relieve edema.
2. Hot compresses: Hot water bags can be used for heat therapy on edematous areas to dilate blood vessels, accelerate blood circulation and relieve edema.
3. Dietary adjustment: If you consume foods containing too much sodium during menstruation, it is easy to aggravate edema. Therefore, you can moderately control sodium intake during menstruation, and focus on a light and nutritious diet.
Edema during menstruation is generally a normal physiological phenomenon, and will be relieved on its own after menstruation. If the edema does not subside for a long time, it may be caused by kidney, heart disease, etc. It is recommended to go to the hospital in time, complete the relevant examinations, and under the guidance of a professional doctor to clarify the cause of targeted treatment.
