【熱敷】 改善腰部 血液循環 |
將熱敷包或暖毛巾放喺腰或下腹等疼痛部位嘅內衣上，透過長時間保暖，促進血液循環，對改善不適症狀相當有效。但留意返，最好避免束縛性大嘅低腰短裙同緊身牛仔褲，否則會阻礙血液循環。 |

【戒口】忌食太冷太鹹 |
太冷嘅飲食會令腹部受寒，骨盤瘀血更嚴重，加劇經痛。而太鹹嘅飲食會令水腫情況更嚴重，經期時一定要避免。應該多食含豐富鐵質嘅食物，例如葡萄乾、紅豆、豬肝、紅棗等，幫助身體製造血液。 |

【用藥】 適當用藥 減緩疼痛 |
如果經痛狀況十分嚴重，不妨根據藥劑師指示底下用藥控制，例如Paracetamol等。但若服藥後經痛或其他不適症狀仍持續，就最好盡快求醫，因為經痛都有可能係其他病症嘅潛伏警號。 |
【服食保健品】 舒緩經期不適 |
如果反覆出現經期不適，可以咨詢藥劑師，根據個人需要選擇合適嘅保健品，如維他命B6及月見草油等，減少經期不適嘅問題。但若然情況嚴重，就要咨詢醫生，根據指引下或會考慮處方定期嘅荷爾蒙藥丸，助你調經。 |
