Patient's question:
Since this year, I've noticed that my abdomen hurts more when I have my period. However, this wasn't the case before. I've heard that drinking soup can be beneficial, so I'd like to ask, what kind of soup can women drink to relieve menstrual cramps?Doctor's answer:
Menstrual cramps are relatively common among women. Here are some relief methods for menstrual cramps:▲ Menstrual pain is primarily caused by poor blood and qi circulation! Drinking ginger tea or pepper soup can promote blood and qi flow, alleviating menstrual cramps.
▲ You can take a walk, but avoid overly strenuous exercise. This can also help improve blood and qi circulation, reducing menstrual pain.
▲ Acquire accurate knowledge about menstrual physiology and hygiene to eliminate fear or tension related to menstruation.
▲ You can use a hot water bag or a self-heating sand bag purchased from a pharmacy to apply externally to the lower abdomen. This is very comfortable and provides immediate relief, reducing pain.
▲ Pay attention to strengthening nutrition and physical exercise to enhance your physical fitness, while maintaining a balance between work and rest.
▲ Pay attention to menstrual hygiene, avoid strenuous exercise and cold foods during your period, and ensure warmth to avoid extreme cold and dampness.
