I believe that for some women, dysmenorrhea is not unfamiliar. During the first few days of their menstrual cycle, they want to stay in bed all the time. Dysmenorrhea seriously affects our study and life. We can relieve the symptoms of dysmenorrhea through massage before menstruation, hoping to help the majority of women with dysmenorrhea.
Let's first understand why women experience menstrual cramps. The causes of dysmenorrhea may include cervical stenosis, underdeveloped uterus, abnormal uterine position, neurological factors, genetic factors, endocrine factors, etc. How to relieve menstrual pain through massage? We can massage five days before menstruation, which helps with blood flow and reduces the risk of dysmenorrhea.
1. Massage the lower abdomen
The lower abdomen between the navel and the external genitalia is bounded by the left and right anterior superior iliac spines on both sides. Place your hands in the middle of your lower abdomen, press it tightly, and slowly massage your abdomen at a frequency of about 10 times per minute until you feel warm inside. Operate for a total of 5 minutes.
2. Rub diagonally on both sides of the lower abdomen
The lateral lower abdomen between the lower edge of the rib arches on both sides and the ilium. Place both hands on the lower abdomen and rub diagonally from back to front, facing outward towards the genitals. Do not rub back and forth, keep the direction consistent, and use friction heat as the measure. Operate for a total of 5 minutes.
3. Rub the uterus
The uterine acupoint is located in the lower abdomen, at the center of the transverse palm below the navel (4 inches below the navel). This acupoint is located at a distance of one point from each of the four horizontal fingers (3 inches from the center line) on the left and right sides. Press the uterine acupoints on both sides with both index and middle fingers, apply a little pressure, and slowly rub them until they are sore and swollen. Operate for 5 minutes until there is a heat sensation in the abdominal cavity.
Dysmenorrhea is a very difficult thing for female friends. Drinking some brown sugar water or red date goji berry water can help with blood flow, and moderate exercise is also very helpful.
