Why do women have stomach pain every time they have their period?

Menstruation is a stage that every girl must go through. It shows us that we are on the road to maturity. But at the same time it also brings us a lot of troubles. Because many girls will experience varying degrees of abdominal pain during menstruation. It really makes people feel helpless. It is really annoying to torture female compatriots for several days every time. So, why is this?

The causes of dysmenorrhea are very complicated. It is recommended that you should go to the hospital to see a doctor. The most common ones are gynecological inflammation and adenomyosis. Only after a clear examination can you deal with them in a targeted manner. And be sure to pay attention not to have sex or take a bath during menstruation, avoid contact with cold water and washing feet with cold water, and avoid eating spicy and cold food. You can try brown sugar water, which is warm in nature. It has a warming effect, can dredge the tendons and veins, and help eliminate menstruation. It is also okay to put a hot water bag on the lower abdomen for hot compress.

Look for Chinese medicine to treat it. Generally, dysmenorrhea is caused by stagnation of qi and blood. If you treat it with Chinese medicine for a month, it will be effective. If it doesn't work, it must be that the medicine is not suitable for you. Change doctors or talk to the doctor. In fact, you don't need to tell him.

If there is no effect after about a month

The doctor will take the initiative to change your prescription. Severe lower abdominal pain during menstruation that disappears naturally after menstruation is called dysmenorrhea. Most dysmenorrhea occurs during menstruation, and for some people it occurs a few days before menstruation. The abdominal pain worsens after menstruation, but everything is normal after menstruation. The characteristics of abdominal pain are closely related to menstruation. Abdominal pain will not occur if menstruation does not come. Therefore, abdominal pain that is not related 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, while secondary dysmenorrhea refers to abdominal pain during menstruation that occurs several years or even more than ten years after menstruation. The causes of the two types of dysmenorrhea are different. The causes of primary dysmenorrhea are a narrow uterine opening, uterine hypoplasia, or large pieces of endometrium in the menstrual blood. The latter condition 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 discovered that increased synthesis of prostaglandins in the endometrium can also cause dysmenorrhea. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the cause of dysmenorrhea through examination and then treat it accordingly.

2. Dietary treatment for dysmenorrhea

Women experience pain in the lower abdomen and lumbosacral area before, during, or after menstruation. In severe cases, the pain is severe, the face becomes pale, the hands and feet become cold, and there may even be fainting. This is called "dysmenorrhea" or "menstrual abdominal pain." The pain often lasts for several hours or 1-2 days. Generally, the abdominal pain will be relieved after the menstrual blood flows smoothly. This disease is more common in young women and is one of the common diseases among women. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that dysmenorrhea is mostly caused by poor circulation of Qi and blood or Qi and blood deficiency. Common clinical symptoms include qi stagnation and blood stasis, cold stagnation in the uterus, qi and blood deficiency, and dampness and heat. Diet therapy can play a better preventive and therapeutic role. Patients with dysmenorrhea should eat light and easily digestible food within 3-5 days before menstruation. You should eat food that is easy to digest and absorb, and you should not eat too much. In particular, you should avoid eating raw and cold foods, because raw and cold foods can stimulate the contraction of the uterus and fallopian tubes, thereby inducing or aggravating dysmenorrhea. Once menstruation has started, you should avoid all raw, cold, indigestible and irritating foods, such as chili peppers, raw onions, raw garlic, pepper, strong liquor, etc. During this period, patients can eat some sour foods, such as sauerkraut, vinegar, etc. Sour foods can relieve pain.

It turns out that this situation is caused by some girls' bad living habits in their daily lives. They always like to eat spicy food and cold drinks and cold food. Some girls even like to wash their feet with cold water. It's really frustrating. In the future, you must try not to do these things, so that you can spend your menstrual period comfortably.
