As a woman, it is almost impossible to get rid of all the discomfort during the visit of your “best friend”. It is no wonder that women generally regard menstruation as the most painful and unbearable problem, as they have been living with it for 20 to 30 years. In fact, with diet and medication, menstrual pain will not be so excruciating. Dysmenorrhea (menstrual pain) refers to the cramp-like pain in the lower abdomen before or during menstruation, sometimes accompanied by headache, nausea, palpitations, diarrhea and other symptoms, and can be divided into primary and secondary. About 75% of women will have primary menstrual pain, and about 20 to 25% of them will need to take painkillers, and about 15% will even be unable to work because of menstrual pain. Primary physiological pain is usually most severe on the first day of the menstrual cycle and can be so severe that it makes it difficult for the patient to sit still and work normally, but the intensity of the pain will slowly decrease and disappear after about two to three days. The most common treatment is painkillers to relieve the pain, which are usually effective, except for a few women who have allergic reactions to certain painkillers and rarely experience any other serious side effects. In addition, physical pain only occurs a few days before and after the menstrual cycle, so the amount of painkillers needed is small and the chance of causing drug resistance is minimal, which does not affect the patient’s health. Painkillers for menstrual pain are not the same as those used to treat headaches and toothaches, and women should seek diagnosis and prescription from their gynecologist. To minimize the pain of menstrual pain, there are tips for taking painkillers, as it usually takes one or two hours for the medicine to take effect, so it is best to take the medicine as soon as you feel the pain for better pain relief. In addition to seeking medical attention for menstrual pain, it is also important to take care of yourself on a regular basis, such as regularity in your daily life, moderate exercise, balanced nutrition, adequate sleep, and a happy mood.

If menstrual pain is mainly caused by waist and foot pain, abdominal cramps, breast swelling and cramps, you should eat foods rich in vitamin B1 and B2, such as brown rice, germ rice, liver, almonds, dairy products, etc.; for those who have pain in the lower abdomen and ovaries during menstruation, it is recommended to take more foods rich in vitamin C and E, such as yellow green vegetables, willow, lemon, walnuts, almonds, wheat germ, etc, Almonds, wheat germ, etc. For those who have pain throughout the abdomen during menstruation, they should pay special attention to diet and nutrition, and eat less raw, cold, and greasy foods, and take vitamin B complex and yogurt to regulate the stomach. For those who suffer from menstrual pain due to anemia, they often have headache or tinnitus and abdominal pain when they have their period, so they may take more iron supplements, dark green vegetables, or drink some brandy occasionally to gradually improve their menstrual pain. In addition, when the menstrual pain is unbearable, moderate insulation is also effective in alleviating menstrual pain, such as holding a hot water bag to relieve the pain. And cold food such as salad, ice, cold food should definitely be avoided, it is best to do some relaxing exercises or soft exercises, not only can relax the muscles and mood, but also can divert the attention to menstrual pain, so that the pain situation and mood swings to a minimum.
