Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Could you please tell me what the normal frequency of Braxton Hicks contractions is?Doctor's answer:
Several weeks before delivery, the uterine muscles become more sensitive, and irregular uterine contractions may occur, which are short in duration, weak in strength, or limited to the lower part of the uterus. After several hours, they stop, failing to dilate the cervix, so they are not indicative of labor and are referred to as false labor contractions. These contractions are irregular, lack periodicity, and do not cause pain.Hello, during menstruation, it is important to rest and maintain proper nutrition. Pay attention to keeping warm, especially the perineum. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, as well as smoking and alcohol. Minimize physical activity to prevent an increase in menstrual flow. Adequate sleep is beneficial for restoring the menstrual cycle.
