1.Eugenics: find a suitable pre-conception conditioning method for yourself
For the sake of their own health and that of the fetus, women who are ready to get pregnant should do their pre-conception conditioning and maintain their uterine environment as early as possible. The fetus depends on the mother’s body for all its growth, so the mother should regulate her gastrointestinal function before conception and strengthen the reserves and absorption of nutrients (folic acid, minerals, vitamins, etc.) needed for pregnancy, so as to provide sufficient nutrition to the fetus, reduce pregnancy vomiting during pregnancy, prevent early miscarriage, and relieve pregnancy edema and other uncomfortable symptoms.
Some women have some difficulties in conceiving because of congenital factors, so they must take care of their bodies before preparing for pregnancy to welcome the fetus in the best health condition. Those who have lost weight for a long time or have symptoms of anemia or habitual miscarriage should pay special attention to the physical conditioning before pregnancy when the following conditions occur
(1) Liver depression with heat and endocrine disorders
Modern women work and other aspects of mental stress, but also affect the hypothalamus – pituitary gland and other endocrine functions. Excessive emotional stress is mostly related to what Chinese medicine calls liver function, i.e. the function of liver body yin and use yang, harboring liver blood and liver yin, and main sparing and regulating. Liver depression may lead to endocrine abnormalities, and premenstrual syndrome, premenstrual dwarf sores, and constipation, which are common in modern women, are all related to this condition.
(2) Spleen deficiency and poor function of the spleen and stomach
People with this type of constitution usually have poor intestines and stomach, and are prone to diarrhea, which leads to malnutrition. According to traditional Chinese medicine, the Ren is the master of twins, and the Ren vein gets its nutrients from the nutrients absorbed by the spleen and stomach. Therefore, if the mother has insufficient nutrients and is weak, the fetus will also be affected during pregnancy and will not grow easily. Only when the stomach and intestines are healthy, food nutrients can be fully absorbed to provide sufficient supplies for the fetus and ensure the health of the baby.
(3) Kidney deficiency and irregular menstrual cycle
If the menstrual cycle is irregular, it is not clear how to calculate the ovulation period, so the difficulty of conception is relatively higher. The normal menstrual cycle for women is 25-35 days, and a period of more than 35 days is considered long, while a period of less than 24 days is too short. The ideal cycle is 28 days, which means that the follicular phase and the luteal phase each account for 14 days, because it is easy to grasp the ovulation period and the chances of conception will be naturally higher. Irregular menstrual cycles can be treated by regulating the Qi of the Kidneys and the Punching Point.
Ways to help pregnancy and regulate the body constitution
If the body’s constitution is biased and diseases arise, or if the menstrual cycle is irregular or if there are organic pathologies such as endometriosis, uterine fibroids or polycystic ovaries, medication is needed. Currently, in addition to herbal medicine, acupuncture and moxibustion can also be used to regulate the body and improve the chances of conception. Acupuncture and moxibustion can stimulate acupuncture points and improve local circulation of qi and blood. Many related studies have confirmed that acupuncture has the effect of regulating the autonomic nervous system and adjusting the endocrine and circulation near the uterus and ovaries. Acupuncture is also used in some infertility treatments by relaxing the fallopian tubes with acupuncture to avoid spasms before the spermatozoa are implanted. Both herbal medicine and acupuncture are common forms of pregnancy assistance in Chinese medicine today.
Suggestions to improve the chances of pregnancy
(1) Lifestyle habits.
Women in the workplace are busy and stressed. Experts suggest that in order to improve the chances of conception, it is necessary to develop good habits, to have regular meals and not to stay up late. Staying up late is especially likely to cause sympathetic hyperactivity, which can lead to constipation and acne symptoms, causing harm to the body.
(2) Exercise.
Some women do not like to exercise, experts pointed out that you can take a brisk walk to exercise. More foot exercises can strengthen the blood circulation in the lower abdominal cavity, reduce the discomfort caused by prolonged sitting and avoid congestion in the brain. Do sit-ups 5-10 times a day, can strengthen the strength of the rectus abdominis muscle. Weak rectus abdominis muscle strength is a sign of poor physical strength and is also related to the physiological function of the Ren and Uterus. Maintaining good exercise habits can enhance physical strength, which is very helpful for the physical load of pregnancy and birth.
2.How to get pregnant: how to improve the “hit rate” of conception
According to foreign statistics, one out of every 10 couples will encounter the distress of not being able to conceive a child after 2 to 3 years of marriage. Although there are no exact statistics in China, the absolute number of couples is certainly quite high. These infertile and infertility couples are seeking medical help to solve this problem, and one of their main concerns is how to improve the “hit rate” of conception.
The timing of conception is important
A healthy man can produce more than 1,000 sperm per second and produce more than 100 million sperm per day. Compared to men, the number of eggs produced by women is much smaller. A normal woman develops only one egg per month and expels about 12 mature eggs a year, which means she has about 12 chances of conceiving. Therefore, the best time to conceive is when you can arrange sex accurately on the date of ovulation.
Self-determination of ovulation date
Using ultrasound or laparoscopy, the doctor can directly observe how the ovaries slowly expel a mature egg. In the vast majority of cases, a woman cannot observe this on her own, but can only know from the arrival of her next period that she has ovulated once more this month. However, with some simple knowledge, women are perfectly capable of knowing if and when they are ovulating.
Self-testing method (a) Basal body temperature method
The body temperature of a normal woman is called the basal body temperature, which is measured immediately after waking up after a full night’s sleep, usually in the morning before she wakes up. In the period before the ovulation day, the basal body temperature is usually below 36.5℃, and the day before the ovulation day, the body temperature drops a little bit, and the lowest temperature is on the ovulation day, and one day later the basal body temperature starts to rise, with a range of more than 0.5℃, after about 12-16 days, until the menstrual flow. Each woman can calculate her ovulation day from the lowest day according to this regular basal body temperature.
Self-testing method (II) Cervical mucus method
Many human organs (cavernous organs) have a wonderful ability to open and close themselves, and so does the uterus. On the surface, it appears that the cervix is connected to the vagina and is unobstructed. But this is not the case. During menstruation, it allows menstruation to pass, and in the second half of the menstrual cycle, the mucus secreted by the uterus is sticky and thick, forming a “plug” that blocks the opening of the cervix, when even the most powerful sperm cannot pass through this “barrier”. The sperm can easily pass through the cervix and enter the uterus. 24 hours later, the cervix closes again on its own. Therefore, you can know if you are ovulating by observing the mucus of your cervix, which is like clear nasal discharge.
Self-testing method (3) intermenstrual pain sensation method
Once a month, the human egg matures from one ovary, is “squeezed” out of the ovary, released and swims towards the fallopian tube. This is a kinetic process. This process of leaving the ovary takes about 1 to 2 minutes. At this point, the follicle ruptures and the egg emerges, causing a slight bleeding. If this bleeding is right against the peritoneum, it can produce an uncomfortable sensation, a vague pain, called intermenstrual pain. Some women do not feel pain, but only a soreness in one side of the lower back, while others feel a swelling in the lower back, and some women do not even experience any discomfort. Women who experience this sensation can pay attention to their feelings around the estimated ovulation period based on their past experience, predict their ovulation day and arrange the time for conception.
Self-testing method (IV) Schedule method
Women with regular menstruation can use their calendar cards to predict their ovulation date. Generally speaking, the day of ovulation falls on the 14th day before the next menstrual flow. If you mark this date on your calendar card and arrange your sex life accordingly, you will be most likely to conceive.
Points to note for self-testing ovulation day
Although these methods of determining the day of ovulation by self-perception without instruments are simple, they must be used skillfully and correctly to be effective. Women who use this method are advised to pay attention to the following points.
(1) It is best to use several methods in combination to improve accuracy.
(2) Self-assessment is difficult for women with irregular menstruation.
(3) It is not easy to measure accurately when there are endocrine disorders, chronic and long-term use of certain drugs and other conditions that interfere.
(4) If there are really other organic causes of infertility, these methods should be used after the treatment of the causes.
3.The treasure of preserving fetus for pre-eclampsia miscarriage
For every woman, the process of conceiving a little life is a sacred task, so she is always careful and expects everything to go well. Once there is vaginal bleeding or lower abdominal pain and other signs of pre-eclampsia, there is no reason not to worry and fear.
So, what are the signs of a true preterm miscarriage?
(1) Vaginal bleeding. Vaginal bleeding can be classified as a small amount of bleeding and heavy bleeding, persistent bleeding and irregular bleeding. Although bleeding is often considered to be the first sign of miscarriage, it is normal to experience vaginal bleeding in the first trimester of pregnancy. However, although vaginal bleeding is accompanied by pain, this is something to be especially aware of as it may be a sign of miscarriage.
(2) Painful sensations. You may have constant pain in your pelvis, abdomen or lower back. You may start to feel pain after a few hours or days after the onset of vaginal bleeding.
(3) A blood clot or light gray tissue is discharged from the vagina. It is not easy to determine if you are having a miscarriage because miscarriage is not a single event, but a link in a chain reaction. In reality, the circumstances and signs of miscarriage are different for each woman.
If a pregnant mother experiences any of these symptoms, don’t be too nervous. As long as you do a good job of keeping your baby alive according to expert advice, no one will be able to take away your lovely baby.
The best way to protect the baby – living
(1) Regularity of life: living in peace, neither too easy (such as too sleepy), nor too laborious (such as lifting heavy objects or climbing high and dangerous, etc.). Ease is qi stagnation, leading to obstructed labor; labor is qi failure, leading to injury and miscarriage. Therefore, pregnant women must develop good habits, work and rest should be regular, the best daily to ensure enough sleep for 8 hours, and appropriate activities. In this way, they can have sufficient physical strength and energy to deal with various situations during pregnancy. In addition, pregnant women should dress generously, the belt should not be tightened, and they should wear flat shoes. It is important to develop the habit of regular bowel movements and to eat more fiber-rich foods to keep the bowels flowing smoothly. When constipated, avoid using laxatives.
(2) Pay attention to personal hygiene: Pregnant women should bathe and change their underwear regularly, but should not bathe or swim, and be careful not to catch cold when bathing. Pay special attention to the cleanliness of the pubic area, you can wash the vulva with clean warm water every night to prevent germs from infection.
(3) Keep your mood relaxed: research suggests that part of the spontaneous miscarriage is due to the central nervous excitement of pregnant women. Therefore, pregnant women should pay attention to regulate their emotions, try to keep their mood, avoid all kinds of adverse stimuli, eliminate tension, boredom, fear of psychology, especially can not be very happy, sad, angry, worried, otherwise it is very unfavorable to the growth and development of the fetus.
(4) Regular prenatal checkups: Pregnant women should start regular prenatal checkups in the middle of pregnancy in order to detect and deal with abnormalities in pregnancy in time to ensure healthy fetal development.
(5) Be careful with intercourse: for pregnant women with a history of spontaneous abortion, intercourse should be avoided within 3 months and after 7 months of pregnancy, and intercourse should be strictly prohibited during this period for those with habitual abortion.
The treasure of fetal preservation – contraindications
I. Can bed rest keep the fetus? If the patient has a history of miscarriage, the cause of miscarriage must be found. You should receive ultrasound and other related examinations in the early stage of pregnancy to understand the development of embryo and find the cause. If there is any abnormality, you should actively cooperate with the doctor for symptomatic treatment instead of simply resting in bed. Pay special attention that you can get out of bed without vaginal bleeding and go to the hospital to find out the cause of bleeding in time. The doctor will decide whether further treatment is needed and whether to keep the fetus according to the situation.
Second, can’t take blood activating drugs during pregnancy? After years of clinical observation, salvia, if used properly, can play a role in preventing thrombosis and improving placental blood flow, which can effectively prevent miscarriage, fetal death and intrauterine fetal dysplasia. The blood-activating drugs must be used in the hospital so that the doctor can monitor the changes in the condition after the use of the drugs in a timely manner.
Third, you must not ignore the pregnancy examination, pre-pregnancy examination of various antibodies and hormone levels is very important, but some pregnant women tend to ignore. For women with habitual miscarriage whose pre-pregnancy examination shows normal, the pregnancy examination is particularly important.
Fourth, blind birth control, part of the early pregnancy spontaneous abortion belongs to the natural elimination, to avoid the birth of deformed children. If the fetus is blindly preserved, there is a possibility that the chromosomal abnormal fetus and pathological malformed fetus are preserved. Therefore, couples with serious chromosomal abnormalities in both or one of them should not only not have children, but also should not keep the fetus.
4.Signs of female infertility and prevention
The causes of female infertility are multifaceted and can be roughly divided into three major categories: organic pathological factors, immune factors and endocrine factors, but sometimes these three categories or two of them may co-exist. How to prevent the occurrence of the disease and how to diagnose and treat it early is a very important aspect and certainly a topic of common concern. In fact, many female infertility can, indeed, be effectively prevented.
As we know, except for a few women who have infertility due to congenital physical defects, most infertility is caused by acquired diseases. These acquired disease factors can be effectively prevented, as long as the protection is paid attention to during adolescence, before and after marriage, as long as the reproductive system is cared for and taken care of, and as long as the signs of infertility are detected in time, the incidence of female infertility can be completely reduced.
People with early sexual experience are prone to infertility. A large number of clinical data confirm that women who have sex too early are not only prone to reproductive system infections, but also to endocrine disorders caused by taking contraceptive pills (including emergency contraceptive pills), abortion or medical abortion, which can affect ovulation. Anyone who has early sexual experience and has infertility after marriage should have a systematic examination as soon as possible to avoid aggravating the condition and affecting the treatment effect.
People with delayed development of secondary sex characteristics are often prone to infertility. We should pay attention to our own development and pay enough attention to the delayed development of secondary sexual characteristics and go to the hospital for examination in time. In general, women will have their first menstruation at the age of 12-14, after which their body hair will start to grow and their breasts will gradually develop and grow. If there are other physical abnormalities, you should go to the gynecological examination in time to prevent infertility.
Those who do not pay attention to the protection of menstruation are prone to infertility. If you do not take care of your menstrual period, the probability of reproductive system infection will greatly increase, and the incidence of menstrual disorders, endometriosis and other diseases will often increase, and some people who do not pay attention to menstrual hygiene may also suffer from vaginitis, cervicitis, endometritis, adnexitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, etc. The possibility of obstruction of the fallopian tubes or incompetence increases. When you intend to get pregnant but cannot, you should go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible.
Timely detection of endocrine problems. Menstruation is a barometer reflecting women’s endocrine condition. Many endocrine diseases are often manifested in menstruation, and the endocrine condition can be judged from the menstrual cycle, menstrual color and menstrual volume. If you have scanty menstruation, amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, or more than one menstrual period, you should go to the hospital promptly. Late onset of menstruation often indicates problems with the development of the reproductive system; onset and then stopping of menstruation often indicates endocrine abnormalities; if severe dysmenorrhea occurs, there may be problems with uterine development and endometriosis; if menstruation is scanty or even amenorrheic, in addition to obesity and hirsutism, it is likely to be polycystic ovary syndrome. These diseases, often, are commonly associated with female infertility.
The body is too thin or too fat to be prone to infertility. When the body is too thin or obese, it should draw the attention of those who cannot successfully conceive after marriage. Some young girls have late menarche, thin bodies, menstruation after the age of 16, low menstrual volume, light color and thin quality, or women who are on a diet or lose weight are prone to infertility; and when overly obese women do not get pregnant after marriage for a long time, the possibility of diseases such as obesity reproductive incompetence syndrome and polycystic ovary syndrome should be ruled out.
5, abortion may cause three major consequences
With the change of modern women’s lifestyle, excessive dieting and weight loss, tobacco and alcohol stimulation, frequent late nights and excessive psychological pressure and other factors are increasingly influential, often resulting in female endocrine disorders, and improper abortion after an unplanned pregnancy is directly damaging the health of the reproductive system, which is one of the important reasons for the increasing incidence of female infertility year by year.
Abortion abruptly interrupts the normal physiological process, which can cause great damage to the female body and may lead to infertility. There are three major possible consequences of abortion.
First, damage, including damage to the cervix, uterine body and endometrium, which may lead to recurrent spontaneous abortion or secondary infertility if the repair is not timely.
The second is infection, when doing abortion, the instrument has to enter the uterine cavity through the vagina to operate, if the patient has inflammation, it is easy to cause endometritis, tubitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, etc. Infection may cause infertility;.
Thirdly, endocrine changes, sudden termination of pregnancy can lead to endocrine disorders in women, which in turn can lead to menstrual irregularities, amenorrhea, non-ovulation and other symptoms, causing infertility. What is often overlooked is that abortion may also induce the production of anti-sperm antibodies that prevent the union of sperm and egg and interfere with the fertilization of the egg, leading to immune infertility.
For this reason, once an unplanned pregnancy occurs, it is important to go to a regular hospital with advanced equipment and strict sterilization to terminate the pregnancy, and to take a good “mini-moon” after the procedure to prevent infection and protect your ability to conceive again.
Anxiety, stress and other psychological factors make infertility more difficult to treat
According to a survey by the World Health Organization, about 10 percent of women of childbearing age in China suffer from infertility. Multiple pressures from individuals, families and society often put women with infertility in a psychological crisis, with a reported incidence of 67% anxiety and 24.9% depression among infertile women.
Psychological factors not only seriously affect the physical and mental health of infertility patients, but also influence the efficacy of infertility treatment. In the treatment of infertility, the traditional biomedical model focuses on finding the cause and treating the symptoms from the physiological function. However, after eliminating all physiological disorders, many women are still unable to conceive, which is influenced by psychological factors, where anxiety and stress interfere with the normal follicular development and ovulation for conception.
Therefore, infertility treatment should be carried out in parallel with psychological treatment in order to improve the conception rate. Currently, psychological support therapy, behavioral therapy and rational-emotional therapy have good clinical efficacy.
6.Tangled gynecological inflammation Chinese medicine treatment has a prescription
The most common cause of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease in women of childbearing age is the long and lingering course of the disease, which even affects life and work, and many women are troubled by it.
Where does pelvic inflammatory disease come from?
Pelvic inflammatory disease refers to inflammation of the uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries and other internal reproductive organs, their surrounding connective tissues such as ligaments, and the pelvic peritoneum. Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease can be caused by the incomplete cure of acute pelvic inflammatory disease; it is also common in chlamydia and mycoplasma infections without a history of acute pelvic inflammatory disease; or recurrent attacks due to weakness and poor resistance. The main symptoms are pain and swelling in the lower abdomen, soreness in the lumbosacral region, aggravated by exertion, before and after menstruation or after sexual intercourse, and also low fever, irregular menstruation, increased leucorrhea, and even infertility.
From TCM identification, chronic pelvic inflammatory disease mainly has types such as qi stagnation and blood stasis, damp heat and cold dampness. The qi stagnation and blood stasis type is the most common type. It manifests as lower abdominal swelling and pain, aggravated before or during menstruation, heavy menstruation, or irregular menstruation, dark menstruation, blood clots, premenstrual breast pain, irritability, etc. The damp-heat type is more common in summer, manifesting as vague pain or burning sensation in the lower abdomen, lumbago, or low fever, fatigue, increased leucorrhea, yellow and thick, yellow urine, or frequent and urgent urination, and thick yellow tongue coating. The cold-damp type is mostly seen in patients with a weak constitution, or who have used antibiotics for a long time or in large quantities. It is characterized by cold pain in the lower abdomen, which is relieved by hot compresses, dizziness, fatigue, pale mouth, poor appetite, sore back, fear of cold, leucorrhea that is as clear and thin as water, pale tongue, white or thick and greasy tongue coating. In addition to these main types, there are also cases of concurrent qi deficiency and phlegm-dampness.
Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease must be treated with evidence
For the treatment of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, a combination of TCM or Chinese and Western medicine should be adopted, together with psychological, exercise, diet and other conditioning methods to enhance physical fitness in order to improve the efficacy. In TCM treatment, medication should be prescribed by a specialist according to the evidence, and must distinguish between cold and heat, deficiency and reality, in order to prescribe the right medicine. In addition to the identification of evidence, the addition and subtraction of drugs should be combined with the different stages of the menstrual cycle as appropriate. Some patients think that the treatment of inflammation is to clear heat and detoxify the toxin, and abuse cold herbs, which may be counterproductive and delay or aggravate the disease if the medicine does not match the evidence. In addition to the internal use of Chinese herbs, Chinese herbal decoction or concentrated solution can be used to retain the enema, or use Chinese herbal suppositories, anal nasal medicine, once a day, stop using during menstruation. The lower abdomen can also be applied externally with collapsed Chinese herbal medicine. If available, physical therapy can be added with local irradiation of far infrared rays, microwaves and ultra-short waves to promote pelvic blood circulation and facilitate the absorption of inflammation.
In terms of western medical treatment, antibiotics can be used for 1 to 2 weeks for pathogenic bacteria or chlamydia and mycoplasma, depending on the pathogen culture. The medication must also be administered under the supervision of a specialist.
During the period of comprehensive treatment, attention should also be paid to the regulation of life. Mentally, you should be optimistic and open-minded, release your worries and increase your confidence in treatment. If there are signs of depression and anxiety, depression, irritability, insomnia and dreaminess, or feeling depressed in the chest, throat obstruction of foreign bodies, or anxiety, worrying that their disease cannot be cured, or even suspecting that they are suffering from a malignant disease, psychological guidance should be provided to make patients understand their condition and treatment plan, eliminate emotional distress, and actively cooperate with treatment.
Medicinal food to help recovery
In terms of diet, attention should be paid to balanced nutrition, easy to digest, and avoid cold or spicy stimulating food. According to the Chinese medicine diagnosis, you can also use the following medicinal recipes.
1. Qi stagnation and blood stasis: use mother of peach and brown sugar water. Recipe: 60 grams of fresh or 30 grams of dried motherwort, 12 grams of peach kernel, 12 grams of salvia, 6 grams of Chen Pi, 15 grams of orange kernel, 15 grams of lychee kernel, brown sugar, decoction.
2, damp-heat type: with Job’s Tears Tu Fu Ling soup. Recipe: 20 grams of coix seeds, 30 grams of cocos ling, 20 grams of lentils, 30 grams of adzuki beans, 15 grams of acacia flowers, bamboo cane (or winter melon, papaya), water decoction.
3, cold and damp type: with warming the Palace to remove dampness soup. Recipe: Radix Angelicae Sinensis 10g, Chuanxiong Ligustici 10g, Radix Codonopsis Pilosulae 15g, Astragalus Membranaceus 15g, Poria 15g, Yam 15g, Cumin 5g, Ginger 20g, decoction with water, add a little yellow wine, served warm.
In addition, damp-heat type patients should eat a light diet, should not eat fatty, sweet, spicy stimulating food; cold damp type patients should not cold, cold, hard to digest food.
Life and living, should pay attention to rest, and appropriate exercise, such as gymnastics, taijiquan, walking or jogging, to enhance physical fitness, but do not overwork.
Generally speaking, after active treatment and proper conditioning, chronic pelvic inflammatory disease can be cured.
7, dysmenorrhea woman good “pregnancy” secret
The monthly “good friend” always brings a less welcome guest – dysmenorrhea. You had to bed rest, hot towel belly, drinking brown sugar water, ginger soup, painkillers to entertain her, and even created a unique hospitality posture: knee squatting, standing with a forked waist …… every time you send your friends away, you always have a vague worry that she will affect to little baby?
In general, the menstrual period due to pelvic congestion and a mild feeling of swelling in the small abdomen, which is normal and not pathological. However, when the pain is severe, even to the point of interfering with daily life and work and requiring medication, it is a pathological condition and is medically called dysmenorrhea. Dysmenorrhea caused by genital lesions is called secondary dysmenorrhea. Dysmenorrhea without organic lesions of the reproductive organs is called primary dysmenorrhea.
Primary dysmenorrhea often occurs shortly after the first menstruation, or in unmarried or infertile women, and may be caused by increased levels of prostaglandins in the endometrium and blood. The causes of secondary dysmenorrhea are more complex, such as cervical stenosis, uterine dysplasia, endometriosis, endocrine abnormalities or pelvic inflammatory disease. A series of tests are required to determine the cause.
Regardless of the cause of menstrual pain, it should not be tolerated without treatment. It is important to go to the hospital as soon as possible to check the symptoms of dysmenorrhea in order to detect some gynecological diseases in time, especially since some reproductive organ lesions may have no symptoms or mild symptoms in the early stage, and early detection can avoid the regret of lifelong infertility. In addition, some people may have some symptoms but are too embarrassed to go for checkups, which may delay medical treatment and make the condition worse.
You may not realize that 80% of women around the world suffer from menstrual cramps every month, just like you, and that more than 50% of them, like you, have primary menstrual cramps for which no cause can be found and no cure can be found. What you didn’t expect is that you don’t have to be in pain at all, you can mobilize your whole body to save your menstrual pain.
Brain mobilization order.
Studies have found that brain tension reduces the body’s tolerance for pain, so the severity of menstrual pain is directly proportional to brain tension. Functional MRI studies have also confirmed that the brain feels pain in the same areas as your own, which means that seeing someone else with dysmenorrhea may cause your dysmenorrhea to worsen.
Suggestion: Avoid the person who is in “pain”; watch a comedy to relax your brain.
Analysis: When we concentrate on the movie, our body produces a lot of endorphins, which can cut off the pain signal and temporarily stop the pain; once we feel happy, our body even releases dopamine, which activates the brain cell membrane to play a pain-relieving effect.
Estrogen mobilization order.
Women in menstruation have the lowest estrogen levels in their bodies and the lowest tolerance for pain, which makes pain during menstruation seem more unbearable than at any other time.
Suggestion: Use natural foods to supplement estrogen
Analysis: A woman’s ability to tolerate pain is closely related to the amount of estrogen in her body. Supplementing estrogen with natural foods can increase a woman’s tolerance of pain. It is safe to consume phytoestrogens through grains, cereals and fruits. Nearly 400 types of phytoestrogens have been identified, with soy, lentils, cereals, wheat, black rice, fennel, sunflower seeds and onions being the most abundant.
Vascular mobilization orders.
Pain leads to sympathetic tension and causes vasoconstriction, while vasoconstriction and poor blood flow in turn aggravate dysmenorrhea, forming a vicious circle.
Suggestion: Menstrual pain patch, intermittent moxibustion
Analysis: By drinking hot water, wearing more clothes, applying dysmenorrhea patches and heating the body with moxibustion at specific points, it can dilate blood vessels, speed up blood flow and counteract the contraction of uterine smooth muscle, thus reducing pain. Experiments have confirmed that the pain relief effect of traditional Chinese therapies is comparable to that of oral pain medication, and there are no side effects, which can also achieve the purpose of “treating the disease at its source” and completely eradicate the problem of dysmenorrhea.
Uterus mobilization order.
If menstrual blood does not flow freely from the cervix, but is retained in the uterus, it will cause pelvic blood stasis and aggravate menstrual pain and back pain.
Suggestion: Keep your head low and hips high posture
Analysis: Kneel on the bed and raise your hips when you have menstrual pain. Maintaining this head-low-hip-high posture can improve the backward position of the uterus, facilitate the outflow of menstrual blood, release pelvic blood stasis, and reduce pain and low back discomfort symptoms.
Colonic mobilization order.
The stress reaction caused by constipation accelerates peristalsis in the digestive tract, stimulating the uterus to contract tensely, triggering short-lived severe pain or aggravating dysmenorrhea symptoms.
Suggestion: Eat a light and easy-to-digest diet
Analysis: By consuming light and easily digestible food and keeping bowel movements smooth, you can avoid aggravating menstrual pain symptoms due to violent peristalsis of the digestive tract.
