Can I have a massage during menstruation?

Many women always experience physical fatigue, back pain, and fatigue during menstruation. Some women will use massage techniques to relieve some physical fatigue symptoms. So, is it possible to massage during menstruation? In fact, massage is a theory. Massage acupoints can dredge meridians and accelerate blood circulation. Therefore, it is best not to massage during menstruation to avoid excessive or insufficient blood flow.

Question 1

It is easy to feel tired during menstruation. Chinese medicine experts point out that weakness in the limbs may be caused by a lack of calcium. At this time, many women want to relieve this fatigue through massage. Female health experts point out that period massage will increase menstrual flow, and foot massage should especially be avoided. Everyone knows that the function of foot massage is to eliminate obstacles to the circulation of qi and blood, dredge meridians, and promote the recovery of normal physiological functions of the human body. If women perform foot massage during menstruation, it will not only fail to relieve fatigue, but will increase menstrual volume and cause harm to the body. Traditional Chinese medicine health experts say that good health care methods and good treatment methods must be based on symptom diagnosis. The effect of foot massage is indeed very good, but there is one thing we must remind everyone, that is, not all people are suitable for foot massage. According to the doctor's advice, people with internal bleeding, skin bleeding, heart disease, hypertension, as well as women during menstruation and pregnancy should not have foot massage.

Question 2

In addition, many women will experience severe back pain during menstruation, and may choose to have others massage them or beat themselves to relieve the fatigue and soreness of the waist. Chen Zhiliao said that it is very normal for women to experience lower back pain during menstruation, which is caused by pelvic congestion. Blindly and forcefully massaging or beating the waist at this time will cause the pelvic congestion to become more serious, which will aggravate the lower back pain.

At this time, massage may also induce subcutaneous bleeding and is not conducive to the repair of endometrial exfoliation. Inappropriate methods may even cause prolonged menstruation. The overall physical fatigue of women at this stage is likely caused by calcium deficiency. The correct approach should be for women to eat more high-calcium foods during menstruation to replenish the iron and calcium lost in the blood.
