In this article, we have tried to help you by presenting several remedies for menstrual cramps, so that you can easily cope with this period.
Learn all about fighting heavy periods and using the right hygiene products for your menstrual flow. But also what is the connection between menstrual cups and menstrual cramps , and how you can relieve them.
Relief of menstrual pain
Menstrual cramps affect many women and the first thought to relieve them is to give painkillers to combat the pain. For some people they may work, for others they may not. But in general, the pain is relieved only briefly. An effective solution to relieve menstrual pain can be a menstrual cup. It was created by Femi.Eko specialists to provide greater comfort to all women and can also help reduce pain. Many women who have used menstrual cups have reported less menstrual pain. The menstrual cup is a medical device that puts pressure on the uterine muscles responsible for the cramps. The fact that it doesn't allow the muscles to contract as much means less period pain and a much lower intensity.
Fighting heavy periods
Heavy periods are associated with an extra worry on those days of the month because you are constantly worried about getting spots on yourself. To avoid such problems, it is important to know exactly which menstrual products are right for you. It may take some time to adjust to your menstrual cycle, i.e. your menstrual flow, e.g. after a birth. That is why at Femi.Eko you will find intimate hygiene products that are specially designed for different currents, including the "super heavy".
Movement before and during the menstrual period
Health is about movement, which is why we encourage you to avoid a sedentary lifestyle and exercise as much as possible. And yes, you can exercise even when you're on your period. It will help you feel better and reduce discomfort on those days. You can safely use a menstrual cup to enjoy freedom of movement for up to 12 hours, depending on your menstrual flow. The risk of stains is minimal. during menstruation you can even train at home, e.g. pilates, yoga, go for a long walk in the park or go for a run.
Avoid certain foods
Be careful about what you eat during your period. Avoid coffee and fatty foods as much as possible, as this will intensify your period pains. Eat fruits, vegetables, lean meats and herbal teas.
Drink herbal tea
Speaking of herbal teas, they are ideal to drink during menstruation because they can relieve some of your pain. Drink chamomile tea, berry tea and jasmine tea. Ginger tea is e.g. also an excellent idea during menstruation. Ginger has anti-inflammatory properties that reduce pain.
Hydration
In addition to water and tea, you can eat foods that help hydrate during your period, e.g. hot soups.
Heat
I'm sure you've noticed that when you feel warm in your stomach and back, the menstrual cramps go away. It can be helped with warm compresses, e.g. a towel held on the radiator or a bottle filled with hot water. In the long term, we recommend that you use a heating belt that you can take with you when you leave home.
Your period doesn't have to be a burden. Use the above remedies to help you get through the few days of the month more easily, even when you have heavy periods or pain that prevents you from doing your daily activities.
