Currently, it is often divided into two types in clinical practice: primary and secondary. Primary dysmenorrhea mostly refers to those without obvious lesions in the reproductive organs, so it is also called functional dysmenorrhea. It is more common in adolescent girls, unmarried people and married people without children.

80% of women worldwide suffer from varying degrees of dysmenorrhea, which shows that a large number of people suffer from this condition. For some people, the pain is not so intense and they can tolerate it a little and live their lives as usual, but for some people, the pain is so severe that they cannot stand. Normal lower abdominal pain is caused by uterine contractions and rarely requires treatment, but sometimes the pain is caused by uterine diseases, so special attention must be paid.

In addition to going to the hospital for timely treatment of lower abdominal pain during menstruation, you can also pay more attention to your daily diet and use diet therapy as an auxiliary treatment. To reduce the occurrence of menstrual cramps.

1. Eat more foods high in calcium during menstruation. Such as high-calcium foods and chocolate candies. When menstruation is about to come, the body needs a lot of calcium to relieve uterine cramps and avoid dysmenorrhea. Chocolate candies can increase blood sugar in the body, thereby soothing the tense nervous system.

2. Appropriate use of Chinese medicine for conditioning. You can take Chinese herbal medicine or use Shuya Dysmenorrhea Umbilical Patch. Taking Chinese medicine is generally considered troublesome. A convenient and easy way is to stick the Dysmenorrhea Umbilical Patch on the navel before menstruation, which can also relieve and eliminate pain. In addition, you should pay attention to physical exercise at ordinary times, avoid cold lower body, and avoid eating raw, cold and irritating foods before menstruation.

3. Control your emotions. Try to control your emotions during your menstrual period and listen to softer music to relax yourself.

In addition, health aspects:

1. Pay attention to personal hygiene and use warm water or professional lotion for cleaning every day, such as Fuyangjie and Huangbo containing Chinese medicine ingredients. But do not wash it repeatedly to avoid damaging the vaginal environment. In the first few days of menstruation, the menstrual blood is heavier, so you should change sanitary napkins frequently.

2. Avoid sexual intercourse. Unclean sexual intercourse is likely to cause gynecological inflammation. The body's resistance decreases during menstruation, so sexual intercourse should be avoided even more. Otherwise, it is likely to lead to the invasion of bacteria, aggravate abdominal pain, prolong menstruation, and increase menstrual blood.

3. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, people with dysmenorrhea have a weak and cold constitution. Keeping warm, drinking brown sugar water, and applying hot compresses to the abdomen can indeed play a certain role in relieving dysmenorrhea. However, in addition to cold stagnation, dysmenorrhea can be divided into many types, such as qi stagnation, blood stasis, damp heat, etc., and they all have their own symptomatic conditioning methods. Especially for people with a hot uterus and congestive dysmenorrhea, hot compresses not only fail to solve the problem, but may even make the dysmenorrhea worse.

If a woman has symptoms of abdominal pain during menstruation, she should also pay more attention during the non-menstrual period. Do not eat cold food, drink alcohol or smoke. These bad behaviors will affect the lower abdominal pain during menstruation. If you have symptoms of abdominal pain during menstruation, you can drink more brown sugar water and eat some dates. These things have the effect of replenishing blood and nourishing qi.
