Helloooo!
How’s everybody doing?
Today I’m gonna be blogging about menstrual cramps.
Girls who have super duper painful menstrual cramps, I know how you feel. I have those every month! :/ It's like a nightmare (throughout the day)... a MONSTER!!
To those girls who don’t have this experience, lucky you! :/ cos it is really a routine you won’t wanna be involved in. When people are out there having fun, jumping around, eating ice cream, and drinking icy drinks, you are there… lying miserably on the bed waiting, cringing in different positions, feeling dead and eating only as much as an ant can take in.
So far, I have tried many methods to reduce the pain. I went to Chinese doctors to regulate my Yin-Yang. But it was too costly to maintain. ($150 each month for the herbal medicines) I went to English doctors and all they gave me were painkillers, which I could easily get from any pharmacies or 7-11 nearby. *facepalm*I even followed those drama series, they said eating chocolates could help ease the pain! The most recent attempt was the Eu Yang Seng’s Bai Feng Wan, which I am supposed to swallow a bottle of pills every week. One-whole-bottle. Every week. Goooosh. &so I went on a quest to ask my bestest friend, Google, for help.
1) Hot water bottles
I’ve tried this many times, it kinda works! But it normally takes some time for the muscle to warm and relax. I would always wrap it up with a towel and put it at my lower abdomen and then wrap myself in a thick blankie. I will feel like a small little girl every time I do that, hehe!
2) Menstral Painkiller Pills
You don’t wana rely on these too much even though it works. Your dosage will slowly increase over time.
3) Yoga posts
Youtubing “Yoga for cramps” gave me a few results. Try keeping legs elevated while lying down. Or Lie on the side with knees bent.
4) Change in Diet
Rich in complex carbohydrates (whole grains, fruits, and vegetables)Less salt, sugar, alcohol, and caffeine.
5) Warm showers
It's quite shiok after it! Always do it while you can still walk (if the pain is not too painful)
6) Walk or light exercise regularly
hmm... hehe! I'll work on it soon!
7) Have adequate sleep
Yupp :D absolutely love this method, have been doing it all along keke!
well, that's all I've learnt so far, hope these few tips are of use to you! ^^
