WOMENS PROBLEMS: TAKING CARE OF YOURSELF
Doctors used to believe that the change of occupation in young women—say, from an active sporting school life to a working life with lest activity and probably more sedentary involvement— played a pan. This is now doubted. But it does not lessen the idea that an active life is a good idea. Try to get as much exercise and outdoor activity as possible, even if you are stuck in an office chair for most of the day or working on an assembly line as a process worker for most of your waking hours.
Also, common sense about the way you live and eat is also worth considering. Pay attention to the general principles of hygiene. Have regular bowel actions, get to the toilet when nature suggests, eat a sensible all-round diet, including fresh fruits and vegetables each day. Go easy on foods high in refined sugar and flour. Fresh truce drinks are preferable to sugar-laden fizzy drinks and alcohol-based ones. Fresh air is better than being cooped up in stuffy rooms chat are overheated. Have a shower daily, and even more often if warranted by hot summer weather.
If all measures, simple and more complex, fail to relieve your period pain, then maybe the doctor will suggest surgery such as a dilation of the cervical canal. But these days me likelihood is much less than it was a few years ago. Aren't you lucky it's riot the bleak dark ages of, say, the 1960s!
