Prevention and relief of menstrual pain
Pelvic stretches for painful period cramps
Let’s start with some stretches that you can do anywhere, whether at home, in the yoga studio, or at the gym. Yoga for period cramps can be a great way of stretching out areas you might find painful during your period – and it also offers huge mental benefits. Yoga can help you to reduce stress and anxiety and enable you to become more mindful, all of which may also help you to better deal with period pain.
If you experience menstrual pain, you can take care of yourself by:
- Use a hot water bottle on your lower abdomen and back.
- Take a warm shower
- Use relaxation techniques such as yoga or meditation.
- Take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) at the onset of pain or before the onset of pain. Painkillers can have side effects, so they should only be used when the pain is severe.
- Get enough rest
- Exercise regularly
- Eat vegetables and fruits. Studies have shown that eating foods that contain Vitamin E, Omega-3 Fatty Acids, Vitamin B1, Vitamin B6 and Magnesium can help reduce menstrual pain.
