Menstrual cramps are a prevalent issue experienced by numerous women. Each month, during their menstrual cycle, many endure significant discomfort in the lower abdomen. This is often accompanied by mood fluctuations, acne, and leg pain, making menstruation a challenging period to navigate.

Nevertheless, there are natural approaches to alleviate menstrual cramps. Many women find relief through the application of hot water compresses. In a recent discussion, Dr. Kunal Sood referenced a video suggesting that consuming a substantial amount of pineapple in the week leading up to menstruation may aid in reducing cramps.

Dr. Kunal Sood confirmed the validity of this claim, stating, “Menstrual pain can be quite severe; while this remedy may not be effective for everyone, it presents a low-risk option that could potentially help ease the discomfort.”

Pineapples may assist in alleviating menstrual cramps in the following ways:

Bromelain:  

"Pineapples are a source of bromelain, a natural enzyme known for its ability to diminish inflammation and swelling, which are often significant factors in menstrual discomfort," stated Dr. Kunal Sood. Additionally, bromelain is beneficial in the treatment of muscle injuries.

Nutrient-rich:  

"Pineapples are abundant in essential vitamins, particularly Vitamin C and manganese, both of which are vital in mitigating oxidative stress during menstruation. While each woman's physiology is distinct and there is no universal solution for managing menstrual pain, those seeking natural remedies may find pineapple to be a worthwhile option," the doctor remarked.

Exercise as a remedy for menstrual discomfort:  

In a previous discussion with Dr. Jayshree Sundar, director of gynecology and obstetrics at Madhukar Rainbow Hospital, she recommended physical activity as a means to alleviate menstrual cramps. The doctor explained, "Engaging in exercise during menstruation can reduce pain and cramps by enhancing blood circulation. It accelerates the shedding of the endometrial lining, which may lead to a more consistent flow for individuals experiencing spotting. Following a workout, the release of endorphins improves blood flow, allowing muscles to generate more energy."
