How should women solve dysmenorrhea?

1. Avoid eating irritating foods

For some patients, dysmenorrhea is caused by accumulation of damp heat in the uterus. If such patients eat spicy or hot foods, it will aggravate pelvic congestion and inflammation, or cause excessive contraction of the uterine muscles, thereby aggravating dysmenorrhea.

Spicy and hot foods include chili peppers, pepper, garlic, onions, ginger, leeks, tobacco, strong liquor and spicy condiments. Patients with dysmenorrhea should try to eat less or no spicy foods.

2. Avoid eating raw, cold and cool foods

If they eat too much of such foods, it will easily damage the spleen yang, prevent the cold and dampness from being transformed, damage the lower part of the body, and stay in the uterus, causing blood to be blocked by cold and causing dysmenorrhea. Therefore, people with weak yang constitution or women during or before and after menstruation should avoid eating raw, cold or cool foods.

Such foods include: all kinds of cold drinks, various frozen drinks, chilled wine, raw cold dishes, crabs, snails, clam meat, leeches, pears, persimmons, watermelons, cucumbers, water chestnuts, grapefruits, oranges, etc.

3. Avoid sour and astringent foods

Acidic foods are sour and cold in nature, and have astringent effects, causing blood vessels to contract and blood to stagnate, which is not conducive to the smooth flow and discharge of menstrual blood. Therefore, people with dysmenorrhea should avoid eating such foods.

Acidic foods include rice vinegar, spicy and sour vegetables, pickles, pomegranates, green plums, bayberries, strawberries, star fruits, cherries, sour dates, mangoes, apricots, plums, lemons, etc.
