What are the treatments for dysmenorrhea in women?

Dysmenorrhea is something that every woman is troubled by. How to treat dysmenorrhea and relieve symptoms is a topic that women are very concerned about. So today the editor will talk to you in detail about some treatment methods for female dysmenorrhea. Let’s take a look!

The phenomenon of severe lower abdominal pain during menstruation and disappearing naturally after menstruation is called dysmenorrhea. Most dysmenorrhea occurs during menstruation, and some people experience it a few days before menstruation. Abdominal pain worsens after menstruation, and everything is normal after menstruation. The characteristics of abdominal pain are closely related to menstruation. Abdominal pain will not occur without menstruation. Therefore, abdominal pain unrelated to menstruation is not dysmenorrhea. Dysmenorrhea can be divided into primary dysmenorrhea and secondary dysmenorrhea. Primary dysmenorrhea refers to abdominal pain that occurs from the beginning of menstruation, and secondary dysmenorrhea refers to abdominal pain during menstruation that occurs after several years or more than ten years of menstruation. The causes of the two types of dysmenorrhea are different.

The causes of primary dysmenorrhea are narrow uterine cervix, uterine hypoplasia or large pieces of endometrium in menstrual blood, the latter of which is called membranous dysmenorrhea. Sometimes menstrual blood contains blood clots, which can also cause lower abdominal pain. The causes of secondary dysmenorrhea are mostly caused by diseases, such as endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, pelvic congestion, etc. In recent years, it has been found that when the synthesis of prostaglandins in the endometrium increases, it can also cause dysmenorrhea. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the cause of dysmenorrhea through examination and then treat the cause.

Method 1: Dysmenorrhea can be effectively treated through acupoint massage. You should take 10-15 minutes every day to massage the Sanyinjiao point, which is three inches above the inner side of the ankle, about 4 fingers above the point. This method effectively maintains the uterus and ovaries, and has a beauty effect if persisted for a long time.

Method 2: One week before each menstrual period, start making soup with brown sugar and ginger. It is best to make it thicker and take it once a day. This can help remove the cold from the body and relieve dysmenorrhea.

Method three: Soak your feet in mugwort. For the first time, take about 5 grams of mugwort and put it in the hot water for soaking your feet. Each soaking time is about 15-20 minutes. At this time, you should feel that parts of your body are starting to sweat a little, that's it, but don't soak for too long or sweat too much to avoid physical exhaustion.

Method 4: In your free time every day, you can rub your hands together to warm them up, then place them on both sides of your lower abdomen and massage both sides of your lower abdomen. Do this for 10-15 minutes each time. This can also effectively relieve dysmenorrhea.

5Method 5: You can use traditional Chinese medicine therapy, use external acupuncture, massage the lower abdomen, and through acupuncture and the temperature added during acupuncture, you can effectively warm the uterus and thus relieve the symptoms of dysmenorrhea.
