Article: If the thought of picking up poop with your hand makes you squeamish, or if you have trouble bending over or stooping, a pooper scooper is a good alternative for picking up your dog’s poop. There are many types of pooper scoopers available at your local pet store or home gardening store. Scoopers often come with spades (for use on a solid surface), rakes (for use on grass), or grabbers (grasping poop).  Try to find a pooper scooper that is sturdy enough to use with one hand. If you are walking with your dog, having a scooper that you can use with one hand would be useful. You can also purchase a pooper scooper that is designed to have a plastic bag attached to the scooper end.  By nature of their design, pooper scoopers are not effective for picking up poop that is mushy or diarrhea-like. If your dog has defecated on the concrete, use your pooper scooper with a spade to scoop up under the poop. After scooping up the poop, carefully dump it into a doggie bag. Alternatively, you could your “grabber” pooper scooper to grab the poop and drop it into the doggie bag.  If you are cleaning up poop in the grass, use your pooper scooper with a rake to gather the poop into a neat pile (if necessary) before you scoop it up to drop it into a doggie bag. The mechanism for using the scooper will depend on what types of attachments it has. The staff at your local pet store or home gardening store can assist you with how to use the specific scooper that you want to purchase. It is necessary to clean your pooper scooper so that the remnants of your dog’s poop do not begin to accumulate on the scooper. These remnants could attract flies and make it more difficult to pick up your dog’s poop. To keep it clean, you can either hose it down with water or let it soak in a bucket of disinfectant.  If you choose to use a bucket with disinfectant, make sure to use this bucket only for cleaning your pooper scooper and not for any other household purposes. Talk with your local waste department for advice on throwing away the water that you used to disinfect your pooper scooper. Do not pour the dirty water into storm drains, since your dog’s feces could contain harmful pathogens (e.g., bacteria, intestinal worms).

Article: While you should not engage in high-impact, strenuous exercise regimens during severe menstrual cramps, gentle exercise can relieve symptoms by stimulating blood flow and releasing endorphins.  Effective exercises during cramping are aerobic exercises such as walking, biking, or swimming.  Yoga poses that stretch the back, groin, chest, and abdominal muscles might also help stimulate blood flow to the uterus and relieve pain.  Make sure that you are exercising gently, while wearing loose and non-restrictive clothing. Overdoing it or wearing constrictive clothing might aggravate symptoms. An added benefit of exercise is potential weight loss, which can also reduce the frequency of menstrual cramps. While it might seem counterintuitive to engage in sexual activity during menstrual cramping, sexual activity can be a great way to relieve symptoms. Orgasms help to relieve cramping by stimulating blood flow, releasing endorphins, and killing pain. Plus they might serve as a welcome distraction from your pain. Rubbing the affected area can help stimulate blood flow to the uterus, which can ameliorate that cramping feeling. Massage your lower belly gently with your fingertips and use a circular motion. You can massage your abdomen for as long as you need to, as often as you need to, in order to reduce your symptoms. Acupuncture and acupressure might have positive effects similar to massage. Some women have reported pain relief through these services. Acupuncture and acupressure work by stimulating the central nervous system in order to heal injuries and relieve pain. If you take this route, be sure that you talk to your doctor first and that you do your research: you only want to see a licensed professional, not an amateur. Heat helps to increase blood flow, which helps minimize cramping pains. Run yourself a hot bath whenever you feel the worst cramps coming on. Repeat once or twice a day as needed.  If you cannot take a hot bath, you can get similar benefits by applying a hot water bottle or heating pad to your abdomen for 20 minutes at a time. Be sure that you are not overdoing the heat: you do not want to scald or burn yourself. A comfortable warmth is just as effective and much safer than a scalding heat. Heat can be equally as effective as pain medication for reducing menstrual cramps, and has fewer side effects.
