Defend yourself against menstrual pain with these tips


Recently, British doctors said taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen, increases the likelihood of a heart attack. Faced with this important medical contraindication, we present in this article recommendations to apply these days:


1. Hot water compressors:

Hot water bottles, microwave heating seed sachets, or heat wraps will help keep menstrual cramps at bay.

Brian King of University College London explains that heat not only comforts or offers a placebo effect; But it actually "turns off pain at the molecular level in the same way analgesics do."

2. Technology:

Stimulation of devices like Livia provides a gentle electric current to your belly.

Livia is a device that offers to reduce the pain immediately stimulating the nerves and blocking the transmission of pain to the brain.

3. Paracetamol:

Paracetamol could be used in the fight against menstrual pain, according to health authorities. However, some studies suggest that it may not be as effective in fighting pain as ibuprofen or aspirin.

Paracetamol is believed to act primarily in the brain, thus affecting pain sensations differently. Paracetamol is said to inhibit the production of chemicals that cause pain and inflammation called "prostaglandins" in the brain. Because of this, it can effectively relieve pain and fever with few side effects, when taken at the recommended doses.

It should be noted that a 2015 study related prolonged use of paracetamol with an increased risk of gastrointestinal problems, elevated blood pressure and stroke

4. Exercise:

According to the health authorities, if you stay active during your period you can reduce the pain. They recommend swimming lightly, walking or cycling.

In a 2016 study it is stated that yoga helped relieve menstrual pain. Also decreased abdominal inflammation, breast tenderness, and cold sweats.

5. Hot baths:

Taking a warm bath can relieve the pain and help women relax. The hot water acts similarly to the application of hot compresses.

6. Massages:

A light, circular massage around the lower belly may also help relieve pain. In a 2012 study, it was concluded that massages, especially if they used essential oils, helped limit menstrual pain.

Based on the women's reports in the study, the researchers found that the duration of pain was reduced to 1.8 days, from 2.4, after messages with essential oils.

7. Hot drinks:

A cup of a hot herbal tea, preferably without caffeine, is always a good idea.

Snowball, also known as Guelder's rose or real elderberry, has properties that greatly help women with heavy menstrual cramps or colic, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center. But those who take diuretics or lithium, it is best to consult with their doctors.

8. Stop smoking:

Believe it or not, smoking increases the risk of suffering pain during the period, so giving up smoking will help relieve symptoms, as well as a huge amount of physical benefits.

A study in Tobacco Control concludes that smokers are more likely to suffer from severe menstrual cramps than nonsmokers. The pain is also greater as more cigarettes are smoked.

9. The Pill:

The pill is made of synthetic hormones similar to those found naturally in the woman's body. It works by preventing the ovary from releasing its eggs. So taking the pill daily can regulate the periods and make them more bearable and can also relieve menstrual pain.

Doctors say the pill slims the cover of the womb, so the muscles of this organ do not contract much when they begin the period of removal of the tissue that covers their interior.
