What should I do if I have stomach pain due to heavy menstrual flow?

Women who have too much coldness in their bodies are prone to irregular menstruation. Therefore, when menstruating, many women will experience abdominal pain, heavy menstrual flow, delayed menstruation, long menstrual period, etc. These are all manifestations of irregular menstruation. So when these problems occur, women need treatment, but there are many treatment methods. We recommend the food preparation method.

Female friends with heavy menstrual flow can use diet therapy to solve this problem:

1. Hen and mugwort soup: 1 old hen, 15 grams of mugwort. Wash the old hen, cut into pieces, and cook it with mugwort leaves into soup. Eat it in 2-3 times. Take 2-3 doses during menstruation. It has the effects of replenishing Qi, absorbing blood, strengthening the spleen and calming the mind. It is suitable for people with weak body and inability to absorb blood, resulting in heavy menstruation, palpitations, insomnia, excessive dreams, depression and pain in the lower abdomen, pale tongue and thin pulse.

2. Rehmannia wine: 6 grams of raw Rehmannia, 10 grams of Motherwort, and 200 ml of rice wine. Pour the rice wine into a porcelain bottle (or cup), add raw rehmannia and motherwort, steam for about 20 minutes, take 50 ml each time, twice a day. It has the effect of promoting blood circulation and stopping bleeding. It is suitable for menorrhagia caused by blood stasis, with purple-black color, blood clots or accompanied by lower abdominal pain and sadness that refuses to be pressed, purple and dark tongue or petechiae, and thin and wiry pulse.

Precautions for heavy menstrual flow

1. Pay attention to keeping a good mood, avoid worry, depression and anger, which can damage the liver and spleen, or excessive emotions, which can turn the five emotions into fire and disturb the Chong and Ren meridians, causing menstrual diseases.

2. Adjust the temperature according to the changes in climate and environment, and add or reduce clothes and quilts appropriately. Avoid keeping the room too cold or too cold to avoid attracting external evil, damaging blood and qi, and causing menstrual diseases.

3. Proper work and rest. You should actively engage in labor (physical and mental labor), but avoid overwork and strenuous exercise, as this can easily damage your spleen and lead to menstrual diseases caused by dysfunction of control or biochemical deficiencies. Pay attention to your diet, which should be eaten at regular times and in regular amounts.

In addition to eating more blood-replenishing and qi-invigorating foods, women should also eat more foods that can enhance the body's resistance when they are not menstruating, especially fresh vegetables and fruits.
