Women must know: One exercise can cure your dysmenorrhea

Annoying dysmenorrhea can be relieved in an easy way. The new abdominal breathing relief method can effectively reduce pain. Such exercise prescription is convenient, safe and practical.

What is primary dysmenorrhea?

The pain of primary dysmenorrhea is due to uterine contraction and ischemia. This is probably due to prostaglandins produced by the secretory endometrium, so primary dysmenorrhea is almost always accompanied by an ovulatory cycle. Primary dysmenorrhea refers to pain during menstruation, which is often spasmodic and concentrated in the lower abdomen. Other symptoms include headache, fatigue, dizziness, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, and pain in the waist and legs.

Primary dysmenorrhea is a very common disease in young women and is not associated with obvious pelvic organic diseases. For primary dysmenorrhea, gynecologists prescribe simple exercise prescriptions, which include lifting your legs or doing abdominal breathing exercises to relieve the symptoms when the disease occurs.

Abdominal breathing can effectively relieve women's dysmenorrhea

"60% of women suffer from primary dysmenorrhea, and among this group, 12-16% of women experience particularly severe pain." Experts say that this data shows that primary dysmenorrhea troubles many women. Many years ago, one of the expert's female students suffered from primary dysmenorrhea. As a student studying traditional Chinese medicine, she combined her knowledge and experience and concluded that moderate exercise could relieve dysmenorrhea. Based on this, experts continued their research and found that health-preserving exercises can also relieve dysmenorrhea.

First of all, we need to find out the cause of primary dysmenorrhea. Experts say that the pain of primary dysmenorrhea is caused by uterine contraction and ischemia. This is probably due to prostaglandins produced by the secretory endometrium, so primary dysmenorrhea is almost always accompanied by an ovulatory cycle. Uterine ischemia is the main cause of primary dysmenorrhea. In addition, severe abdominal cramps also indicate that the individual's abdomen has a low ability to withstand intensity. Therefore, exercise prescriptions are mainly aimed at strengthening the body's qi and blood and sphincter capacity.

Before and after menstruation: walking, sit-ups, Wuji standing

When walking, the movement of the lower limbs can increase the blood circulation ability of the lower body; sit-ups mainly focus on abdominal exercises, which not only promote blood circulation and unblock meridians, but also increase the ability of women's abdominal muscles to withstand intensity. This way you can be prepared and prepare your body to reduce the pain when an attack occurs. The essence of Wuji standing posture lies in the movement of internal breathing. Doing abdominal breathing can not only enhance the muscle strength of the sphincter and increase its contraction and relaxation threshold (the range of pain tolerance), but also enhance the body's toughness and withstand more force. These will address and relieve primary dysmenorrhea.

During menstruation: lift your legs, lie down and do abdominal breathing exercises

When primary dysmenorrhea occurs, the pain is obvious, so the above-mentioned exercises are no longer suitable. Instead, you can do foot-lifting exercises, which can also activate blood circulation in the lower limbs and relieve pain. If the pain continues to be so severe that even moving the body causes pain, experts recommend doing abdominal breathing exercises while lying down. The lying abdominal breathing exercise has similar requirements to the Wuji standing practice, except that standing is replaced by lying on the bed. For example, when lying on the bed, the Baihui point, the perineum point, and the midpoint of the line connecting the two feet form a straight line, and at the same time, focus your mind on these three areas. During menstruation, the frequency of exercise should be once in the morning and once in the evening.

If a woman suffers from dysmenorrhea every month, she may need to be alert. She cannot rely solely on exercise and breathing to relieve dysmenorrhea. She needs to go to the hospital for a detailed examination.
