Experts give four prescriptions for treating dysmenorrhea

Someone once joked: If men had to endure the pain of monthly menstruation, dysmenorrhea and childbirth like women, then women would also be willing to work hard outside to buy a car and a house. Although these are angry words, they also reveal the pain that women suffer from dysmenorrhea. Dr. Li Jie from the Zhuang Medicine Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi University of Traditional Chinese Medicine said, "In order to be beautiful, many women change into short-sleeved shirts and low-waist pants too early, which makes the stomach cold and more likely to cause dysmenorrhea." What should you do about dysmenorrhea? There are four methods to choose from.

Chinese medicine prescriptions on the Internet cannot be trusted

A netizen shared a traditional Chinese medicine recipe on a forum that cured her dysmenorrhea that she had suffered for years. The recipe is as follows: 1. 10 grams of zelan, 6 grams of mugwort, and 30 grams of brown sugar, decocted and taken three times a day, 3 to 5 doses; 2. 6 grams of safflower and 6 grams of brown sugar, decocted and taken with aged wine; 3. 15 grams of mugwort and 15 grams of vinegar-processed cyperus, add a small bowl of milk vinegar after decocting, simmer for a while, take 1 to 2 times a day (warm). It is best to start taking the medicines in these three prescriptions one week before your menstrual period, just in time for your menstrual period.

Exercise prescription: Exercise can relieve pain

The exercise prescription is mainly aimed at strengthening the body's qi and blood and the ability of the sphincter to allow the abdomen to withstand more stimulation and reduce pain. However, exercise should be done according to the menstrual period.

Before and after menstruation, it is recommended to practice walking, sit-ups, Wuji standing and other exercises. When walking, the movement of the lower limbs can increase the blood circulation ability of the lower body; sit-ups mainly focus on abdominal exercises, which not only promote blood circulation and unblock meridians, but also increase the ability of women's abdominal muscles to withstand intensity. The essence of Wuji standing posture lies in the movement of internal breathing. Doing abdominal breathing can not only enhance the muscle strength of the sphincter and increase the range of pain it can withstand, but also enhance the body's toughness and withstand more strength. These will address and relieve primary dysmenorrhea.

Dietary prescription: Eat more longan and red dates to replenish blood

Dysmenorrhea is divided into primary dysmenorrhea and secondary dysmenorrhea. Both types of dysmenorrhea require blood supplementation, and eat more longan, red dates, and wolfberry. For dysmenorrhea of ​​the cold blood type, you need to replenish the Yang Qi skillfully, otherwise it will cause getting angry. It is recommended to stew mutton with peppercorns and then drink wolfberry water. Blood stasis caused by Qi deficiency can be treated by making soup with Astragalus or simply soaking it in water and drinking it.

External treatment prescription: moxibustion below the navel

When taking care of dysmenorrhea at home, it is best to focus on some commonly used external treatment methods. People with blood-cold type dysmenorrhea can soak their feet more often at night, and place the moxa box under the navel at ordinary times. This way, they can moxibustion the Guanyuan, Zhongji and other points, each time for 30 to 60 minutes. Pay attention to replenishing water during the moxibustion process.
