The first reaction of many women is to take painkillers to stop the pain. It is worth noting that although painkillers work quickly, improper use of medication may affect liver and kidney function as well as cause stomach bleeding. In fact, acupuncture, massage and hot compresses can also play a good effect of relieving menstrual pain. Here are a few ways: a. Take painkillers. When menstrual pain starts, women can take painkillers with milk or food together. The painkillers take effect after about 20-30 minutes and last for 12 hours. This method is not recommended for long-term use. Second, moxibustion method. Select acupuncture points such as Sanyinjiao and Sansili, and suspend the moxa stick at a height of about 3cm from the acupuncture point to make the area warm without burning pain. Each point for about 10-15 minutes, to the extent that the skin appears red. Third, the disease is rubbed with the palms of both hands against each other until hot, and massaged about 200 times along the clockwise direction in the small abdomen below the umbilicus. Or point rub the foot Sanli and Sanyinjiao points, each for 1 minute. Fourth, the hot compress method. Hot compresses on the lower abdomen help relieve uterine spasms and promote blood circulation in the abdomen, which can relieve dysmenorrhea. If you use heated herbal hot compresses, the effect of activating blood circulation, moving Qi and relieving pain will be better.
