What causes bloating during menstruation?

Abdominal distension and pain during menstruation, if the symptoms are relatively mild and bearable, should be a normal physiological need during menstruation. As long as you eliminate anxiety and worry and apply warm compress appropriately, the symptoms can be alleviated. If the pain is more obvious, it should be considered as menstrual cramps. Dysmenorrhea is one of the more common gynecological diseases. It generally refers to the pain and heaviness in the lower abdomen during the menstrual period or before and after the menstrual period, accompanied by low back pain and other uncomfortable symptoms. Severe symptoms can affect the quality of life. Dysmenorrhea can be divided into primary dysmenorrhea and secondary dysmenorrhea. Primary dysmenorrhea is more common, accounting for more than 90% of patients with dysmenorrhea.

The main cause of primary dysmenorrhea is related to the increase of prostaglandin content in the uterine wall during menstruation. Many years of clinical experiments have shown that the content of prostaglandins in the uterine wall and menstrual blood of patients with dysmenorrhea is significantly higher than that of normal women. The increase in prostaglandin content is the main cause of dysmenorrhea. For such a situation, medication can be used for treatment. The medications include prostaglandin synthase inhibitors and contraceptives. After treatment, the content of prostaglandins in menstrual blood can be reduced. Traditional Chinese medicine can also be used for treatment. If the menstrual pain gradually intensifies, a gynecological ultrasound examination must be performed to rule out the possibility of adenomyosis.

The main cause of abdominal distension is indigestion. Patients eat too much, overeat, eat too fast, and talk while eating, which causes more gas in the stomach and causes abdominal distension. You can take some gastrokinetic drugs such as metoclopramide, metoclopramide, lactobacillus tablets, etc.; you can also eat some hawthorn fruit to promote digestion, eat more vegetables and fruits, and eat more easily digestible foods such as noodles, steamed buns, millet soup, etc.; eat less radish, sweet potato, beans and other foods that are easy to produce gas. If the symptoms cannot be relieved, go to the hospital immediately.

Bloating is caused by obstruction or slow discharge of gas in the digestive tract, sometimes combined with abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and other symptoms. It is common in multi-functional indigestion, intestinal obstruction, gastrointestinal tumors, and inflammation. Gastroscopy, colonoscopy, and abdominal CT examination can be performed to further confirm the diagnosis. The diet should be dominated by easily digestible, liquid and light foods, and spicy and pungent foods should be avoided. Metoclopramide and Mosapride can be used to promote gastrointestinal motility and promote gastrointestinal motility. Wind-expelling mixture can be used to treat bloating. Jinshuangqi or Meichang'an can be used to adjust gastrointestinal flora imbalance. Abdominal massage can also be performed when necessary. If the above effects are achieved, Chinese medicine acupuncture, acupuncture therapy and other medications can be used for treatment.
