Menstrual pain in 13-year-old girls can be relieved through massage, heat application, and similar methods. If the patient has primary dysmenorrhea, drinking ginger black sugar tea during menstruation and avoiding cold foods may help alleviate discomfort. Applying heat can reduce menstrual pain; it is important to stay warm during the period—using a heating pad on the abdomen or soaking feet in warm water is effective. Acupressure massage can help relax the body and thereby relieve menstrual pain.
