Patient's question:
I experience severe pain every time I have my period. During menstrual cramps, taking pain relievers is the only thing that helps. I've heard that after giving birth, menstrual cramps will no longer be so intense. Do menstrual cramps improve after having a child? Is this viewpoint correct?What kind of help I need: Do menstrual cramps improve after having a child?
Doctor's answer:
Actually, because everyone's constitution is different, the reasons for menstrual cramps can also vary. Some menstrual cramps will never disappear after giving birth. It is recommended that you refer to the following precautions for menstrual cramps: 1. Pay attention to balancing rest and activity. Sitting or lying down for long periods during menstruation can promote blood circulation, which may lead to recurring menstrual cramps. Therefore, avoid prolonged sitting or standing and engage in appropriate exercise to alleviate the symptoms. 2. When menstrual cramps are severe, you can use medication to relieve them. However, relying solely on painkillers not only creates dependency in the body but also causes menstrual cramps to recur repeatedly. Therefore, to alleviate menstrual cramps, it is better to gradually regulate your body internally.
