Menstruation and massage

How does menstrual pain develop?

Menstrual pain is caused by powerful contraction of the uterus, which rejects the uterine lining. The pain slowly gets worse and usually disappears quickly after a peak. Menstrual pain is similar to the pain that occurs during a wee. Menstrual pain occurs especially during the first 2 days of menstruation. 


Is it good to be massaged during menstruation?

You can simply get a massage during your period. In fact, a massage can significantly reduce your period pain. Ask for an abdominal massage, which involves massaging your uterus and ovaries. A good abdominal massage accelerates blood circulation and takes away the tension in your abdomen. Any cramps will quickly diminish.

You can also massage your own abdomen, which will reduce menstrual pain. Coat your belly with warming oil, press gently and rub your lower abdomen in circles.
