How should I treat abdominal pain during menstruation?

Women generally feel a little uncomfortable during menstruation. They may feel bloating or slight pain in the lower abdomen, and sometimes they may experience soreness in the waist. These are not abnormal phenomena and are normal female physiological reactions. However, women sometimes have more severe abdominal distension and pain during menstruation, and sometimes there will be persistent pain, which will seriously affect people's normal work and study. The following editor will explain in detail what to do when encountering menstrual pain?

There are many causes of dysmenorrhea, but they can be summarized into two categories.

One type is caused by quality diseases of the reproductive organs, the most common of which are pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis, and submucous uterine fibroids. When these diseases are cured, dysmenorrhea will also improve. The other type refers to the absence of obvious qualitative changes in the reproductive organs, which is mainly caused by mental factors. For example, girls who have their first menstruation lack knowledge about menstruation and develop a panic mentality. They associate other bleeding events with pain, and when they hear others talk about having stomach pains during menstruation, they think that every woman will feel the same way. As a result, they become overly sensitive, have a decreased tolerance for normal minor discomforts, and find the pain unbearable. In addition, strenuous exercise, excessive fatigue and tension during menstruation may also cause dysmenorrhea.

At the same time, some defects of the uterus itself, such as uterine infertility, anteversion or retroversion of the uterus, can obviously cause dysmenorrhea.

For this type of dysmenorrhea, you should first relax your mind, eliminate fear, avoid overwork during menstruation, keep warm, avoid eating raw and cold foods, do not swim, and maintain a happy mood. I believe that the painful dysmenorrhea will be greatly alleviated.

What to do when you have dysmenorrhea

Dysmenorrhea is generally treated with drugs. In addition, taking Chinese medicine to treat pain often has good results. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that pain occurs when there is obstruction, so the principle of treatment is to maintain health through obstruction, and pain will disappear when there is obstruction. It can be treated with Chinese medicine that promotes blood circulation, regulates menstruation, regulates qi and relieves pain. At the same time, acupuncture treatment can be combined with moxibustion on Sanyinjiao, Hegu, Neiguan points, and moxibustion on Qihai and Guanyuan points. Acupuncture treatment can be performed immediately when dysmenorrhea occurs, which often produces very good results.

When women experience abdominal pain during menstruation, they should consider that they have dysmenorrhea. The editor reminds female friends to pay attention to dietary conditioning during this period. They should choose to eat more light foods in their daily diet and try not to eat raw, cold or spicy foods. Also, they must pay more attention to rest during this period and not stay up late often.
