      Can hot compress treat all menstrual period discomforts? ? From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, people with dysmenorrhea who have a cold-deficiency constitution are more common. Methods such as keeping warm, drinking brown sugar water, and applying hot compresses to the abdomen can indeed play a certain role in relieving dysmenorrhea.

      However, in addition to cold coagulation, dysmenorrhea can also be divided into various types such as qi stagnation, blood stasis, dampness and heat, etc. Each of them has its own symptomatic treatment methods, especially Uterus For people who are on the hot side and have congestive dysmenorrhea, hot compresses will not only not solve the problem, but may even make the dysmenorrhea worse.

      Friendly TIPS: During the menstrual period, it is not advisable to massage the abdomen too strongly or beat it, otherwise it will easily induce the endometrial shedding and aggravate bleeding symptoms. Supplementing minerals such as calcium, potassium and magnesium can also alleviate menstrual syndrome. You may wish to increase your calcium and magnesium intake before menstruation. 》》》 What to eat for dysmenorrhea 9Food to relieve pain
