Understanding menstrual pain: what's going on in your body?
The mechanism of menstrual cramps
During your period, the uterus contracts to expel the uterine mucosa. These contractions, amplified by certain hormones called prostaglandins, are responsible for those painful sensations you know so well.
These contractions can cause :
- Intense pelvic pain, often localized in the lower abdomen
- Severe fatigue that prevents you from carrying out your normal activities
- Radiant pain in the back or legs
Why are some pains stronger than others?
Not all periods are the same, and that's perfectly normal. Several factors can explain more intense pain:
Prostaglandin production Some women naturally produce more of the molecules that trigger uterine contractions. The higher their concentration, the greater the pain.
Underlying disorders : Endometriosis or fibroids can considerably increase inflammation and sensitivity. If your pain is incapacitating, don't hesitate to consult a health professional.
Stress, fatigue and lack of sleep These factors amplify the perception of pain. Your body is more sensitive when weakened or under stress.
Natural solutions to relieve menstrual pain
Soft heat: your comfort ally
Heat improves circulation and relaxes tight muscles. A hot water bottle or hot bath can provide quick, comforting relief.
Light movement: activate your microcirculation
No matter how much you want to stand still, light movement such as walking or yoga activates microcirculation. Yoga, in particular, offers postures that relieve pelvic tension.
STIMCARE patches: infrared technology to soothe without drugs
STIMCARE patches use an innovative technology based on infrared reflection naturally emitted by your body. Unlike conventional heating patches, they do not heat up and contain no active ingredients or medication.
How does it work? The patches reflect the infrared rays your body naturally emits, creating an action on microcirculation and promoting pain relief in a gentle, non-invasive way. A natural 100% solution to support you during your period.
Hydration and an anti-inflammatory diet
Limit sugar and processed foods, which promote inflammation. Eat a diet rich in omega-3s, magnesium and B vitamins. Good hydration also helps your body to cope better with this period.
When should I consult?
If your menstrual pain is incapacitating, prevents you from working or carrying out your daily activities, or is accompanied by heavy bleeding, it's important to consult a healthcare professional. These symptoms may be a sign of endometriosis, fibroids or other disorders requiring medical attention.
