During the menstrual cycle, hormonal substances (prostaglandins) cause uterine muscle contractions. Higher levels of this substance are associated with severe abdominal or spinal pain. For the lucky girls, these days of the month pass without being felt at all, but for the rest the pains become terrible and unbearable. If you belong to the second group, these yoga-based exercises, not at all complicated, can help you a little. It only takes 5 minutes of your time.
