Get respite from the monthly menstrual cramps by using
a hot water bag on your lower abdomen and lower back, and by avoiding dairy
products, meats and legumes as these can cause bloating and worsen the pain,
says an expert.
Indira Ganeshan, director of capital-based Irene IVF
Centre, has shared how to ease the pain.
1. Hot water bag on your
lower abdomen and lower back, and taking a hot shower offers instant pain
relief.
2. Drinking teas like
ginger tea, jasmine tea and chamomile is not only anti-inflammatory, but also
keeps you well hydrated to tackle the blood loss. Girls who have water
retention can try dandelion tea.
3. Take supplements
like vitamin B, E, C and Folates, which help in relieving the menstrual pain.
4. Consume a diet rich
in fibre like fruits and green leafy vegetables which has high content of
vitamins and anti-oxidants. An intake of Aloe Vera juice and papaya is very
helpful for the cramps.
5. Avoid coffee, as caffeine increases gastritis and causes anxiety
and may increase cramping as it constricts the blood vessels.
6. Avoid alcohol and
smoking.
7. Light exercise and
soft yogic posture and stretching will provide relief from body pain associated
with cramps.
8. Indulging in
massages can be very relaxing and relieve cramps. Lavender oil application in
lower abdomen is also very helpful.
9. Acupressure is said
to help girls tide over the rough time, and provide relief from cramps.
10. Painkillers like
Acetaminophen (paracetamol), Mefanemic acid can help the girls in relieving
cramps and also decrease the amount of blood that is lost.
