Why do you feel bloated when you come to your period?
Flatulence is common during menstruation. Whether it is inflammation caused by a cold or menstrual bleeding. You will feel bloated.

First of all, you must avoid catching a cold, and you can't eat drinks such as ice cream and cold fruit. It is best to drink ginger soup, brown sugar water and rose hot tea.

In addition, the following measures can be taken:

1, Balanced Diet: Although a healthy diet can't eliminate menstrual pain, it has a magical effect on improving general health. Avoid junk food that is too sweet or salty, which will make you flatulent and slow down. Eat more vegetables, fruits, chicken and fish, and eat as little as possible.

You may have primary dysmenorrhea, because most of the dysmenorrhea of young girls belongs to this kind. At present, it is believed that the causes of primary dysmenorrhea are mainly related to the following factors.

Nervous. Some girls feel fidgety, anxious, nervous and fearful when they come to menstruation due to lack of physiological knowledge, so they are more sensitive to pain than ordinary people. Even if you feel a little uncomfortable, you will feel pain. The more nervous you are, the more painful it will be. This kind of pain is mainly caused or aggravated by psychological effects.

Weak. Some girls are physically weak and usually do not pay attention to exercise, so their tolerance for pain is reduced and they feel unable to support mild pain. Some young women will have sea pain during menstruation, which is related to the hypoplasia of related muscle groups. The upper abdominal muscles have the function of supporting abdominal viscera. If these muscles are not well developed, the function of supporting related organs will become worse, so that the feeling of pain will be produced due to the traction of organ weight.

Hormone effect. Menstruation usually comes about two weeks after ovulation. After ovulation, corpus luteum is gradually produced, and lutein can secrete progesterone. Excessive progesterone production can make the cervix contract strongly and affect the menstrual blood outflow in uterus. There is much menstrual blood in the uterus, which stimulates the uterus and makes it contract strongly, thus causing pain.

Uterine problems. Some people's cervix is too narrow, and menstrual blood is not smooth, causing pain. Some people suffer from uterine dysplasia or uterine malformation, and their muscles cannot contract harmoniously, thus causing pain. Some people's uterus is extremely forward or backward. In order to discharge menstrual blood, the uterus must strengthen its contraction. If the uterus contracts strongly, there will be pain. Some people have symptoms of reproductive organs, leading to pelvic congestion and swelling, causing backache and leg pain.

Girls with dysmenorrhea should go to the hospital for gynecological examination to find out the reasons. If it is secondary dysmenorrhea caused by reproductive organ diseases, after careful treatment, the disease will be cured, and naturally it is not dysmenorrhea. For primary dysmenorrhea, we should pay attention to the following points according to different situations:

First of all, correctly understand menstruation and eliminate ideological concerns. Menstruation is a normal physiological phenomenon. Menstruation is a signal that the reproductive system is beginning to mature, so you don't have to worry, let alone be nervous and afraid. You should keep a good mood, be cheerful and do what you like. Leave the troubles and unpleasantness in daily life behind, don't miss it. In this way, the pain will be alleviated. In order to treat menstruation correctly, you can read more books on physiological knowledge and understand what menstruation is about.

Secondly, pay attention to exercise and improve physical fitness. Young women with weak constitution should take an active part in physical exercise, such as running in the morning, doing exercises, playing Tai Ji Chuan and badminton. And insist on doing exercises or walking during recess to keep fit and enhance the body's resistance and tolerance to pain. This is of great benefit to relieve or eliminate dysmenorrhea. During menstruation, you can do soft medical gymnastics outdoors, mainly to exercise the waist and massage the waist at the same time, which will also relieve the pain.

Thirdly, pay attention to conditioning and regularity in life. Life should be regular at ordinary times. You should sleep when you should, eat when you should, and combine work and rest to ensure adequate sleep time, which is beneficial to your health and improve your brain fatigue. If the study burden is too heavy, it can be appropriately reduced. 3-4 days before menstruation, eat digestible tokens, eat more vegetables and fruits, and keep the stool unobstructed, so as to avoid constipation causing pelvic congestion and aggravating dysmenorrhea. Don't take part in overwork and strenuous exercise. Keep your lower body warm. Don't catch cold in the lower body during menstruation, otherwise it will aggravate the pain. When you are in pain, hot compress the lower abdomen with a hot water bag can accelerate blood circulation and reduce pelvic congestion. Drinking some hot brown sugar and fresh Jiang Shui can dispel cold and relieve pain.

Finally, Chinese herbal medicine can be used for conditioning, western medicine and sex hormone therapy. Severe dysmenorrhea can be treated with Chinese herbal medicine. Such as: motherwort 30g, ginger 16g, brown sugar 63g, or rhizoma Cyperi 9g, raw folium Artemisiae Argyi 9g, brown sugar 63g, decocted into thick juice, three times a day, for dysmenorrhea until infertility. You can also take Chinese patent medicines under the guidance of a doctor, such as Tongjing pills and Danggui tablets. You can also smoke it with moxa sticks. Go to the drugstore to learn several rolls of moxa sticks, each roll is 18 cm long. When you have dysmenorrhea, light the moxa stick and put it near your stomach to make your skin feel warm without burning. Smoking a roll for about 10 minutes can also relieve the pain. Acupuncture can also relieve pain. Acupuncture at Sanyinjiao 12 minutes can also relieve pain, and then acupuncture Guanyuan and Guanyuan Shu. Western medicine also has many good methods to treat dysmenorrhea, such as taking painkillers, compound belladonna tablets and atropine. , can relieve pain. The other is treatment with sex hormones. Some people's dysmenorrhea is caused by luteal phase produced after ovarian ovulation and progesterone secreted during luteal phase. So sex hormones can be used to inhibit ovulation. However, the use of sex hormones is more complicated, and it will have side effects if it is not used well, so it should be used under the guidance of a doctor. Generally speaking, with sex hormone therapy, it is necessary to stop taking drugs for three months, and most people will not have dysmenorrhea for half a year after stopping taking drugs.

(3) Physical and mental discomfort that may occur during menstruation.

Physical and mental discomfort may occur during normal menstrual period. To sum up, it is three words: "pain, sleepiness and annoyance."

Pain: During menstruation, most girls will feel abdominal pain or waist pain to varying degrees. This is because the organs in the pelvic cavity begin to be congested and swollen before each menstrual period and continue until the end of this menstrual period; In addition, during menstruation, the muscles of the uterine wall contract continuously, thus discharging the atrophied endometrium and menstrual blood. On the first and second day of menstrual period, abdominal pain is severe. In the following days, with the discharge of intrauterine fillers, the congestion of pelvic organs was relieved, and abdominal discomfort was naturally relieved. If you feel abdominal pain during menstruation, you can drink a cup of hot brown sugar and Jiang Shui, or take a prone position to rest, or put a hot water bag in your lower abdomen, and you can also exercise slightly to help discharge the stuffing in the uterus. These practices can relieve pain. Swimming, getting wet in the rain, washing your hair with cold water, washing your face, washing your feet, washing your hands, bathing and sitting in the cold will aggravate abdominal pain and should be avoided as much as possible. You can't eat cold food or drink during menstruation, even in summer.

Sleepiness: Generally speaking, girls are more likely to be tired and sleepy during menstruation than usual, and some people will feel headache. This is because women's physical strength changes periodically with the menstrual cycle. Physical strength gradually increased from 8 to 9 days before menstruation, reaching the peak at 1 ~ 3 days before menstruation; Physical strength drops sharply after menstrual cramps. After menstruation, physical strength gradually recovered; 3 ~ 5 days after menstruation, the physical strength is slightly higher than usual, and then it quickly returns to normal level until the arrival of the next menstruation. Knowing this rule, don't ask too much of your physical strength during menstruation, don't be too tired, and take a proper rest. If conditions permit, you might as well put those things that require strong physical and mental strength into your best time to do.

Worry: Some girls will find that they will suddenly have emotional changes a few days before menstruation, showing irritability, anxiety, nervousness, lack of self-confidence, inattention, and even some physical symptoms, such as insomnia, breast pain, headache, abdominal distension and edema. After menstruation, the symptoms will disappear naturally, which is called premenstrual tension syndrome in medicine. At this time, you may lose your temper because of a little thing. Sometimes, you will unconsciously be sarcastic, even to your parents or your best friend. Therefore, if you have an argument with others, you don't have to compete with others for winning or losing, because you are impulsive and easy to hurt people at this time, and you will regret it afterwards. If you find that you quarreled with your parents or friends that day mainly because of your impulsiveness and unreasonable troubles, you should apologize to the other party as soon as possible to get the other party's understanding. Don't be embarrassed and put things off for too long; Otherwise, it will cause misunderstanding, you will lose the friendship you shouldn't have lost innocently, or make your parents feel sad unnecessarily. In addition, when you are emotionally unstable, don't make important decisions in life.

(4) menstrual self-care

First, always keep the genitals clean and hygienic. Wash the vulva with clean warm water every day. Wash from front to back first, not from back to front, so as not to bring dirt or bacteria near the anus to the vaginal opening.

Second, change your underwear frequently. Change underwear every day, and wear less or even no underwear made of chemical fiber. Don't wear tight pants at ordinary times. Because adolescent girls are in the period of breast development, girls should not gird their breasts to avoid breast dysplasia.

Third, be emotionally stable and optimistic. Menstruation is a normal physiological phenomenon of women, and normal menstruation is a sign of a person's health. So don't hate yourself when you come to menstruation, keep your mood stable, have an optimistic mental outlook, and listen to music to divert your attention when necessary.

Fourth, we should have a reasonable diet and pay attention to nutrition. A few days before menstruation, you should be mentally prepared and keep warm in advance. Don't eat cold food during menstruation, avoid washing your face, hands and feet with cold water, and don't take a bath. Eat light meals and ask your mother to cook something delicious for you if necessary. Eat more iron-rich food at ordinary times. Fifth, we should take part in some labor and physical exercise properly. Because strenuous exercise or heavy physical labor will accelerate the blood circulation of the lower body, thus aggravating the congestion of pelvic organs. Mild people are likely to cause excessive menstrual blood, prolonged menstrual period and weak constitution; When it is serious, it will leave gynecological diseases and affect life. Therefore, during menstruation, as long as physical activity is not strenuous or heavy physical labor, proper participation can alleviate the discomfort of the menstrual body.
