What causes severe menstrual cramps?

Of course, patients can also use the tips of their index and middle fingers to press the Zusanli and Sanyinjiao points to relieve dysmenorrhea symptoms.

After all, it is mainly due to the menstrual blood flow disorder caused by uterine cold, and generally speaking, dysmenorrhea in young women is primary dysmenorrhea, which can usually be gradually relieved after delivery. Some people experience mild symptoms, while others experience very severe symptoms. In addition, secondary dysmenorrhea is more common in women after childbirth and in middle age, and is caused by pelvic inflammation, tumors or endometriosis. It has a lot to do with eating cold things during or before and after your menstrual period, being exposed to cold, and wanting to stay cool in the summer.

In short, if your menstrual dysmenorrhea is severe and the pain cannot be relieved, then you must go to the hospital for treatment accompanied by your family and friends to avoid fainting on the way. The causes of dysmenorrhea are very complicated, and we cannot simply guess why we have dysmenorrhea. Many female friends blindly take medicine to relieve pain, which causes damage to the uterus, leads to infertility, and harms their own bodies. Moreover, some elderly people believe in superstitions and some folk remedies, such as drinking blood water, which will delay the normal treatment of menstrual dysmenorrhea for our female friends. Therefore, female friends should not do anything rash when we have menstrual dysmenorrhea, so as to prevent more women from falling into misunderstandings about treatment.
