Treatment for nausea during menstruation

Nowadays, female friends don’t have time to take care of their bodies, which will cause some adverse reactions in their bodies, especially during the menstrual period, which can easily lead to very bad effects. For example, vomiting will occur during the menstrual period. What exactly causes vomiting and how should it be treated?

Treatment:

Because the cause and pathogenesis of this disease are still unclear, there is still a lack of specific and standardized treatment methods, and treatment is mainly symptomatic. Therefore, we must first identify the main aspects of the symptoms and treat them symptomatically according to the individual. This includes two aspects: 1. Targeting the patient's psychological and pathological factors, through health education, the patient can understand the physiological knowledge of the symptoms to help the patient improve his response to the symptoms, and then alleviate the symptoms by adjusting the rhythm of daily life, strengthening physical exercise, improving nutrition, and reducing stress response to the environment. 2. Drug treatment, using drugs that adjust the activity of central nervous system neurotransmitters to eliminate psychological and emotional disorders, or using hormones to inhibit ovulation to eliminate severe PMS symptoms such as breast tenderness.

For the convenience of clinical reference, the treatment plan for controlling the main symptoms is described as follows:

(I) Strengthen health education: Make patients realize that PMS is a common phenomenon among women of childbearing age and that it can be relieved through a series of lifestyle adjustments and simple drug treatments, thereby eliminating patients' concerns about the disease and unnecessary mental burdens, and allowing them to be mentally prepared before symptoms appear and take the following preventive measures in terms of life and nutrition.

(ii) Supplementation of minerals and vitamins: has been widely used in the treatment of PMS. It is reported that taking 1000 mg of Ca and 360 mg of Mg daily can improve negative emotions, water retention and pain during the luteal phase, but its mechanism of action is not understood and the treatment effects vary greatly. Some patients experienced significant improvement in their symptoms after treatment, while others experienced no effect at all.

(III) Correcting water retention: Due to the lack of experimental confirmation that PMS patients do have fluid retention in their bodies, it is not necessary to give diuretics immediately. If symptoms do not improve after reducing salt intake and supplementing calcium and magnesium minerals, or if weight gain during the luteal phase is >2500g, the diuretic spironolactone (spironolactone) 25mg can be given 4 times a day, taken from the 18th to the 26th day of the cycle. The amount of potassium excreted is small, no potassium supplementation is needed, and dependence is not likely to occur. In addition to reducing swelling and weight, it can also relieve mental symptoms, including drowsiness, lethargy, depression, and sadness.

(IV) Breast tenderness: Using a bra to support the breasts, reducing the intake of caffeinated beverages and oral contraceptives can help relieve symptoms. The most economical and least side-effect agent is oral gestrinone, a synthetic 19-norsteroid with androgenic and anti-E and P properties. By blocking the E receptors of the breast and eliminating the cyclical changes of the breast, it can effectively relieve breast pain and tenderness, and can dissipate breast nodules or reduce the size of nodules. The main side effects are acne caused by its androgenic properties. Danazol can be used for critically ill patients.

The above introduces some treatment methods for vomiting during menstruation. In fact, if such a situation occurs, you still need to go to the hospital for a detailed examination, otherwise it is very likely to cause other diseases. It is still necessary to find out the cause and prescribe the right medicine.
