We face various physical and mental discomforts before and during menstruation.

Headaches in the days before menstruation

Loss of appetite

Pain in the thighs and legs

Back pain, etc. are some of the common symptoms.

For menstruation, the uterine wall needs to be shed, and this happens due to uterine contractions. When the uterine muscles contract and the uterine wall tears, we experience lower abdominal and back pain. Doctors say that this pain usually decreases with age.

Exercise, rest, masturbation, hot baths, or painkillers like Panadol can help relieve the pain caused by menstrual cramps. If the pain is severe and prevents you from doing your daily activities, talk to a doctor.
