What are the common misunderstandings in treating dysmenorrhea?

Many women don't understand their menstrual periods very well, so there are often misunderstandings. In fact, women should pay close attention to their bodies during menstruation. If they do not take good care of themselves, they will have a lot of troubles in the future. But many women don’t know that they are doing something wrong. Here are some common misunderstandings.

Myth 1: Marriage is not the end of dysmenorrhea

Will dysmenorrhea disappear after marriage? Does it make sense? Experts say that there is no necessary connection between dysmenorrhea and marriage and childbirth. Some women experience relief from dysmenorrhea after marriage. This may be because the human body's neuroendocrine system has not yet matured during adolescence, and endocrine secretion is irregular. In particular, many dysmenorrheas occur in the first year of menstruation. As the body develops, the pain will no longer occur.

Long-term dysmenorrhea in young girls can easily cause lesions and develop into secondary dysmenorrhea. Therefore, marriage is not the end of dysmenorrhea. If a woman suffers from long-term dysmenorrhea, she should go to a regular hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible.

Myth 2: Taking medicine to relieve dysmenorrhea

Some women do not know the cause of their dysmenorrhea and simply rely on painkillers to relieve the problem. In fact, this is also a misunderstanding in the treatment of dysmenorrhea. Because the causes of female dysmenorrhea are divided into primary dysmenorrhea and secondary dysmenorrhea, the solutions will be different depending on the different causes of dysmenorrhea. Abuse of drugs may aggravate dysmenorrhea or cause dependence.

Myth 3: Massage can treat dysmenorrhea

Women should never use massage to treat dysmenorrhea. Doctors point out that women should not have intense massage during menstruation, because excessive massage can easily stimulate the endometrium and even aggravate bleeding.

Myth 4: Heat therapy for dysmenorrhea

Many women hold a hot water bottle when they have dysmenorrhea. In fact, warm therapy for dysmenorrhea is not suitable for everyone, because the physical constitution of normal people is divided into deficiency, excess, cold and heat. Warm therapy is only effective for those with deficiency and cold constitution, but it is not suitable for women with other constitutions to use this method to treat dysmenorrhea.

The four misunderstandings about dysmenorrhea introduced above are actually very common. In fact, many times, women regard dysmenorrhea as a normal phenomenon. In fact, this is wrong, because dysmenorrhea is a physical discomfort and can be dangerous when it is severe. Generally, if you feel very uncomfortable during dysmenorrhea, you should go to the hospital for a check-up to avoid danger. Finally, I wish you all good health and a happy life.
