Most women have symptoms of menstrual pain, and there are also various analgesic methods such as sleeping, drinking hot drinks and eating sweets. Say goodbye to physiological abdominal pain. Sports stickers are great.
Chen Taian, a rehabilitation physician of Daqian Health Care System, said that dysmenorrhea is a cramp caused by severe contraction of the uterus, just like a calf cramp caused by running fast. Generally, the duration of dysmenorrhea is only 1 and 2 hours, and at most 1 day; Some people are more serious, and the pain may last for 2 or 3 days, and the pain is more severe. Often appear abdominal pain, colic, abdominal distension, uterine discomfort, and even symptoms such as backache, nausea, diarrhea.
In order to disturb menstrual pain, many women will hot compress the lower abdomen and drink hot drinks or desserts to promote pelvic blood circulation and relieve physical discomfort; Some people choose to sleep and temporarily forget the feeling of uterine contraction; If it is no longer possible, you will seek the help of a doctor and use painkillers, antispasmodics or mild sedatives.
In addition to the above methods, Dr. Chen Taian said that soft tissue application is also one of the methods to relieve menstrual pain. Sticking is to use the resilience of elastic patches to strengthen or relax specific muscles, act on muscles and fascia tissues, reduce muscle fatigue and spasm, improve blood and lymphatic circulation, and achieve the effects of conditioning fascia, stabilizing joints, reducing swelling and removing blood stasis, diminishing inflammation and relieving pain.
The abdominal and back application method for relieving dysmenorrhea is open.
How to use sticking to relieve menstrual pain? Stickers need to follow the texture of muscles and fascia to play their due role. Therefore, the application should be carried out by a professional rehabilitation doctor or physiotherapist to avoid self-application.
Dr. Chen Taian said that there are two kinds of sticking methods in clinic, namely back sticking method and abdomen sticking method:
Back: Stand and bend forward. I-shaped patches are attached to the upper pelvic edges (posterior superior intestinal spines, PSIS) on both sides of the back, and the midpoint is aligned with the depression of the waist to provide support for the pelvis and waist, and relieve the symptoms of backache.
Abdomen: Lie face up and put a horizontal X-shaped patch between pubic bone and navel. On the one hand, it is pulled upward to provide support for the lower abdominal organs, on the other hand, it relaxes the local spastic lower abdominal muscles, promotes subcutaneous blood and lymphatic circulation, and relieves lower abdominal pain.
