Many women (up to 90%) have menstrual cramps. Most are simply due to menstruation itself and don't indicate any underlying gynecological problems.
Menstrual cramps start a day or so before actual menses. They are felt in the lower or middle abdomen. They can radiate (spread) to the hips, thighs, and back.The severity of cramps varies widely from woman to woman and even between the same woman's periods. Some have cramps that are barely noticable. Some have crampes that are excruitating. They may also have weakness, chills, and dizziness.
HOW MENSTRUAL CRAMPS HAPPEN
A substance called prostagladins are the cause of most symptoms with dysmenorrhea. These are produced by the body and found in the uterine lining. When the lining starts to shed with menstruation, they are released. They cause the uterus to contract forcefully, which is the reason for much of the cramping itself.
To reduce the intensity of menstrual symptoms,
you can changeyour diet:
.Less sugar, and slightly more protein.
· Diuretic foods such as eggplant, cucumbers and parsley can helpdiminish water retention.
· Calcium supplements (1 gram per day) and magnesium (500milligrams) can help reduce anxiety (always take both).
· Vitamin B-6 (not more than 50 milligrams per day) can alleviatesymptoms of anxiety and tension.
· Vitamins E and C also help reduce the intensity of cramps.
· Aspirin has a mildly soothing effect.
· And once again you can turn to plants to relieve your pains:
* ANGELICA in infusion: 3 1/2 tablespoons of root per quart ofwater.
* MATRIX (derived from the Latin for womb): 2 teaspoons offlowers per quart of water.
Also try the following home treatment to help relieve your menstrual cramps.
-Use heat, such as hot water bottles, heating pads, or hot baths, to relax tense muscles and relieve cramping. Be careful not to burn yourself.
- Herbal teas, such as chamomile, mint, raspberry, and blackberry, may help soothe tense muscles and anxious moods.
- Exercise. Regular workouts decrease the severity of cramps.
- Empty your bladder as soon as you have the urge to urinate.
