Ways to reduce Menstruation Pain

1. Heating pads

Using a heated patch or wrap on your abdomen can help relax the muscles that cause period cramps. Heat also helps in blood circulation.

2. Exercise

Relaxing yoga poses help in reducing period pain for some people. Low-to-medium intensity aerobic exercises like biking or brisk walking have also helped some.

3. Painkillers

Pain relievers can help with period cramps and other period-related pain, like headaches. As with any medicine, you should first check with your doctor for the best suited painkiller.

4. Improving your diet

Add healthy substitutes like leafy vegetables, nuts, and fruits to reduce stomach inflammation and digestive issues.

5. Acupuncture

Acupuncture can help in cramps as it relaxes the nervous system, allowing more blood to flow to internal organs, and quell inflammation.

6. Stay hydrated

If you’re dehydrated, abdominal cramps might feel more painful.Aim to drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water per day.
