Many times, we experience some ailments which may make us feel
uncomfortable or sickly. Many of these minor ailments can even keep us
indoor if not properly taken care of, and the reason why this happens is
because we tend to overlook or under rate them.
For instance,
some women can be kept indoors for few days especially when they start
their menstruation, these women are often uncomfortable or feel sickly
even few days before the commencement of the monthly period. Some of the
complements of such women who always dread their monthly period
include; headache, undue tiredness, inability to walk properly, lack of
appetite and redness of the eye .
Women however should not see
menstruation as something to fear, according to medical explanation.
During the letter part of the female cycle, both female hormones,
oestrogen and progesterone fall to a very low level in the blood stream.
This then lead to what is called menstruation, which should be seen as
normal process and nothing more than the shedding off of the uterus in
preparation for the beginning of a new female cycle.
Menstruation
it should be emphasised should normally continue for four or five days,
and may sometimes be followed by a slight discharge which can last for
several days. But any bleeding or discharge continuing for more than six
or seven days should be considered abnormal and may be due to lack of
hormone balance within the body.
However, just before
menstruations, it has become nervous and irritable, while some women’s
problem with their menstruations is that they usually suffer from
depression, headaches, fullness in the breasts while some may suffer or
experience swelling in the lower extremities.
According to
explanation given by natural medicine doctors, this is probably due to
increased hormone activity from the adrenal glands during the letter
parts of the menstrual cycle, which may cause retention of sodium and
water in the tissues.
The question then is: How can women who
often experience this unpleasant feelings prevent or avoid such
uncomfortable condition prior to their monthly period? Answering the
question, a naturopath, Dr. Nurudeen Animasaun explained that there
simple natural preventive methods/ therapy that women can embark upon to
prevent all these feelings. He said such simple natural therapy can be
called do- it- yourself natural therapy without using any medication
which can only ameliorate such unpleasant experiences.
According
to him, aromatherapy can relief pain and painful menstruations can be
relieved by gentle massage over the abdomen with what he referred to as
the anti- spasmodic oil such as majoram, lavender or chamomile.
These
oils according to the naturopath, also work for serious backache and
stomach cramps. Those experiencing muscular pain can also get
substantial relief both by massaging the affect musnules where the pain
is being felt and by putting these essential oil in water and bath with
it. This is because the massage movements and hot water bath heighten
the medicinal effects of the oils.
On what could cause regular
painful menstruation, backache and stomach cramp, the natural medicine
practitioner said severe pain before driving menstruation apart from
hormonal problems may be due to some abnormality that need to be
corrected. He said the painful menstruation may also be due to some
endocrine imbalance which may clear up entirely following pregnancy or
satisfactory marital relationship (Satisfactory Sexual Intercourse).
Abnormal
position of the uterus may also lead to menstrual pain or discomfort,
while certain pelvic conditions, such as endometriosis and fibroids are
also sure possibilities.
Infections such as syphilis, gonorrhea,
or tuberculosis, may sometimes cause pelvic pain which may be aggravated
during menstruation. Also rectal conditions such as constipation can
also aggravate.
