It's that time of the month again! Your period doesn't have to be stressful if you learn how to deal with it.
Steps
Step 1. Be happy with your period
When you are in menopause, you may actually miss it.
Step 2. Know that a period is a symptom of health, so that's another bonus
Many women forget about it and think it means pain and that's it. Would you prefer prolonged health problems rather than occasional monthly pains? You should be happy that you are healthy.
Step 3. Eat bananas
They help make abdominal cramps hurt less.
Step 4. If the pain is severe, take a day off; don't try too hard
Step 5. Watch funny YouTube videos or some DVDs you have at home
Comedy will distract you from bad things.
Step 6. Do some yoga
If you search YouTube for "exercises for menstrual pain," you will find several videos.
Step 7. Do some mild exercise to get better, such as a brisk walk or a "slow" run
Step 8. Get some rest
Lack of sleep will tire you out and make you feel more nervous!
Step 9. Don't feel sorry for yourself
It is commonly said that menstrual pains are among the worst pains in the world, but there are people who are worse off, such as those suffering from life-threatening diseases. Be glad your pain comes in the form of your period, rather than having something worse.
Step 10. Don't be afraid to satisfy cravings, unless it's something that's harmful in the long run
Eat chocolate if you want some, but keep in mind that too much chocolate could increase the pain.
Step 11. Try to use tampons instead of tampons if you are in a lot of pain
Tampons in the body can make menstrual cramps worse, especially if you keep the same tampon too long - avoid using them while you sleep for the same reason. Used non-stop, tampons can also cause toxic shock syndrome, as well as making you more painful if you use them wrong - if you can still feel the tampon inside you, it means it's not in the right position or it's not deep enough.
Advice
- Hot water bags on the abdomen are really a relief for calming cramps.
- If you wish to have children in the future, remember that the reason you are having your period is to be able to have children.
- Try not to get angry during your period. Try to relax and have fun. Try to distract yourself.
- Take ibuprofen if the cramps don't give you any respite. Aspirin is not recommended, as it can lead to long-term problems, such as liver cancer. Talk to your doctor if you are unsure or have questions.
- Epsom salt is very useful in these situations! Ask someone to go out and buy you a pack. Fill your tub with hot water and pour in some salts. They help calm you down and relieve cramps.
- Buy a nice perfume to cover up bad smells.
- Buy a menstrual cup "to be applied inside the vagina during menstruation to collect menstrual fluid. Unlike tampons and sanitary pads, the cup does not absorb the flow or catch it outside the body … most women in The West does not use menstrual cups, but disposable pads and pieces of tissue (called sanitary pads) to absorb the flow."
