What sleeping position can relieve dysmenorrhea?

The problem of dysmenorrhea is a problem that troubles many women, because dysmenorrhea will accompany women until menopause. Therefore, long-term impact of dysmenorrhea will cause great physical and psychological trauma to women. When dysmenorrhea occurs, women can adopt some more effective sleeping positions to relieve it. Let’s take a look at what sleeping positions can relieve dysmenorrhea? I hope everyone can understand it.

Recommended sleeping position: right side

Generally, side sleeping is divided into right side sleeping and left side sleeping. Since left side sleeping will compress the heart, it is not recommended. Right side sleeping is conducive to smooth blood circulation, normal functioning of various organs in the body, adequate blood supply and conducive to the outflow of menstrual blood.

But some women may worry about the problem of side leakage. Now, with enlarged night sanitary napkins, side leakage generally does not occur. If you are still worried, you can put some clothes or other things to prevent side leakage.

Unsuitable sleeping positions during menstruation:

1. Sleeping in a curled-up position

Whether you are lazily curled up on the sofa or in bed, this sleeping position is not good. Curling up is not conducive to the growth of children, and for women during menstruation it will cause damage to the waist and cervical spine, and cause muscle tension, aggravating the symptoms of waist and abdominal pain during menstruation. At the same time, it may hinder the flow of menstrual blood.

2. Eat a full stomach and go to sleep

No matter when you go to bed, right after eating, the stomach needs more energy to digest food and must transport more blood to the abdomen, which causes abdominal or other body discomfort. During menstruation, it will aggravate the discomfort of dysmenorrhea and make it difficult for you to fall asleep.

3. Sleeping on the table

Sleeping on the table will not only hinder menstrual blood flow, but also compress the internal organs. Doing this for a long time will threaten the reproductive system, so office workers should try not to sleep on their stomach if possible.

4. Sleep with a raised pillow

Many people like to raise their pillows when sleeping, but a pillow that is too high will compress the cervical spine, causing blood circulation in the head and preventing the related muscles from resting properly. If this continues for a long time, there will be head problems. If you are menstruating, it will have a two-way impact.

5. Wearing necklaces, watches, etc. to sleep

Necklaces, watches and other accessories are too close to the body's blood vessels and arteries. Wearing them while sleeping will block blood circulation and affect menstruation.
