What to do if you have pain on the right side of your lower abdomen during menstruation

We know that women will have menstruation almost every month before they reach menopause at the age of 45. Of course, pregnant women will not have menstruation, and people who have reached menopause will not have menstruation. Menstruation is a common problem for women. And dysmenorrhea is actually very common. So what should you do if you have menstrual pain on the right side of your lower abdomen?

Severe lower abdominal pain during menstruation that disappears naturally after menstruation is called dysmenorrhea. Most dysmenorrhea occurs during menstruation, and for some people it occurs a few days before menstruation. The abdominal pain worsens after menstruation, but everything is normal after menstruation. The characteristics of abdominal pain are closely related to menstruation. Abdominal pain will not occur if menstruation does not come. Therefore, abdominal pain that is not related to menstruation is not dysmenorrhea.

Traditional Chinese Medicine: In traditional Chinese medicine, dysmenorrhea can generally be relieved by taking Chinese medicine, choosing some Chinese medicines that regulate blood and relieve pain during menstruation, or performing acupuncture and other methods. Commonly chosen acupoints are Sanyinjiao, etc.

Drug therapy: There are many ways to relieve the pain of primary dysmenorrhea. For example, painkillers and birth control pills can relieve the cramping caused by uterine contractions, but long-term use can cause dependence and side effects.

During menstruation, women not only feel depressed, but also generally suffer from menstrual pain. This type of dysmenorrhea can be divided into two types: primary dysmenorrhea and pathological dysmenorrhea.

Primary dysmenorrhea usually occurs in girls aged 13-25 who have not given birth. Before the menstrual period comes, there will be constant pain in the middle and lower abdomen. In severe cases, there will be pain in the buttocks, inner thighs, thigh roots and back. The cause of this type of menstrual pain is mostly unknown, but it is related to ovulation or excessive prostaglandins, which cause the uterus to contract too much. You can use daily warming, diet, and drug therapy to regulate yourself. The so-called pathological dysmenorrhea is caused by physical problems, such as endometriosis, and is more common in married women over 25 years old.

To sum up, although menstrual lower abdominal pain on the right side is very common, it requires active treatment. Moreover, if such pain symptoms have already appeared, it is often possible that further problems may be caused by the patient's other reproductive organs, so the patient needs to see a doctor as soon as possible.
