How to relieve lower abdominal pain before menstruation

Menstruation is the physiological period of women. It is a physiological behavior caused by the cyclical growth and development of female ovaries and the subsequent shedding of useless accessory tissues. However, due to people's bad eating habits, sleeping habits and other living habits, some adverse symptoms may appear during or before menstruation. Lower abdominal pain before menstruation is a common condition. So how should it be relieved? Let me introduce it to you below.

What to do with lower abdominal pain before menstruation

1. Low back pain during menstruation: Low back pain during menstruation is one of the symptoms of dysmenorrhea. When dysmenorrhea occurs and no obvious abnormalities of pelvic organs are found after detailed gynecological clinical examination, it is called primary dysmenorrhea, also known as functional dysmenorrhea. Secondary dysmenorrhea refers to those with obvious lesions in the reproductive organs, such as endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, tumors, etc.

2. Lower abdominal pain before and after menstruation: Lower abdominal pain before and after menstruation refers to lower abdominal pain before menstruation, which is one of the symptoms of dysmenorrhea. Dysmenorrhea refers to lower abdominal or lower back pain, or even lumbar pain, experienced by women during and before and after menstruation. It occurs every time during the menstrual cycle. In severe cases, it may be accompanied by nausea and vomiting, cold sweats, cold hands and feet, and even fainting, which affects work and life. Currently, it is often divided into two types in clinical practice: primary and secondary. Primary dysmenorrhea mostly refers to those without obvious lesions in the reproductive organs, so it is also called functional dysmenorrhea. It is more common in adolescent girls, unmarried people and married people without children. This type of dysmenorrhea can usually be relieved or disappear after a normal delivery. Secondary dysmenorrhea is mostly caused by organic lesions of the reproductive organs. This disease is a common disease in gynecological clinic. According to relevant surveys, the incidence rate of dysmenorrhea is 33.19%.

3. Cold pain in the lower abdomen: Premenstrual abdominal pain is mostly caused by cold and blood stasis, which often manifests as abnormal cold pain in the lower abdomen. Dysmenorrhea is a common disease among women, and many women are very distressed about it. During menstruation, people often take painkillers to deal with the problem. Although this can temporarily relieve the urgent need, it does not cure the root cause. Traditional Chinese medicine focuses on syndrome differentiation and treatment in the treatment of dysmenorrhea.

Precautions during menstruation

1. Foods to avoid during menstruation

During menstruation, you should avoid eating raw, cold and icy foods, such as ice cream and the like. Even foods with cool properties are not allowed, such as watermelon, pear, grapefruit, winter melon, kelp, loofah, eggplant, cucumber, crab, snail, etc. In addition to these, some acidic things such as sour plums, and some spicy things such as ginger, garlic, and chili peppers should be avoided, otherwise it is easy to cause dysmenorrhea. Dysmenorrhea is not a trivial matter. If it is serious, infertility is possible.

2. Foods to eat during menstruation

There are also some things you should eat more during menstruation. In order to balance blood circulation and make blood flow smoothly, you should drink more brown sugar boiled ginger, eat more walnuts, red dates, longan, green onion, fungus, rose, etc. These are all foods that are very helpful for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.

3. Other matters that should be noted

In addition to paying special attention to diet during menstruation, there are many small details in life that should be paid more attention to. During menstruation, you should pay special attention to keeping warm and avoid catching cold and getting sick. Because when girls are menstruating, their body's resistance and immunity will decrease. If you are not careful at this time and catch a cold, you will easily get sick. This requires girls to pay more attention to all aspects of daily life. Don't take a cold shower, wear warmer clothes, don't wear thin clothes just for the sake of beauty, don't expose yourself to rain and sun, and try not to wash your hair during menstruation. Finally, to ensure the cleanliness of private parts, do not take a sitting bath. Sanitary napkins should be changed frequently, and underwear should also be changed and washed frequently.
