Samy dobře víme, jak dokážou menstruační bolesti potrápit. S pomocí studentky porodní asistentce Julie Bischofová jsme pro vás sepsaly 4 tipy, které by vám mohly s bolestivou menstruací pomoci.
Painful menstruation, known professionally as dysmenorrhea, is a normal part of the cycle, but it should not limit our daily activities. Mild cramps in the lower abdomen and pain in the lower back are considered normal.
What helps with menstrual pain?
We are all different and therefore we all respond differently. Below are some tips that might help. Alternatively, you can share what works for you in a comment or message on our Instagram .
1. Nutrition, dietary supplements, vitamins
The body must have enough essential fatty acids to protect it from overproduction of prostaglandins F2 alpha, which promote the onset of cramps. Essential fatty acids can be supplemented with, for example, evening primrose oil. Other important components of the diet are vitamin C, vitamin B6 and magnesium. All of these elements can be found in Femvia's Premenstrual Complex.
2. Heat
Heat is the most common and easiest way for women suffering from painful menstruation. It is recommended to apply heat to the lower abdomen and hips.
3. Suitable menstrual aids
Every body is individual, everyone has different preferences, and this also applies to choosing menstrual aids. These can also affect comfort during menstruation, so don't be afraid to try menstrual panties, which helped me in this area. Conventional tampons or cups may not suit some women in this regard. At the same time, it is good to choose looser clothing during menstruation that will not tighten the lower abdomen.
4. Psychosomatics
Painful menstruation is one of the most common psychosomatic problems in women. Pain can also arise from an internal conflict, when we are not reconciled with our feminine role and body. Another factor influencing pain during menstruation can be stress, social aspects and how menstruation was perceived in the family we grew up in. Therefore, it can help if we accept menstruation as a normal part of life, which is also one of the indicators of our health.
If commonly available analgesics do not work for painful menstruation and the pain significantly limits your normal activities, it is advisable to discuss this problem with a gynecologist. You can also contact the team of experts at the Femvie counseling center for advice.
