How can I cure lower abdominal pain during menstruation?

Many women experience varying degrees of lower abdominal pain during menstruation. In severe cases, they may be so uncomfortable that they cannot live or work normally, and may even develop other complications. So what treatment can completely cure the disease of dysmenorrhea? Next, I will tell you about the more effective methods based on some information from clinical cases.

1. General treatment: Do physical exercise to enhance physical fitness. Pay attention to your daily life, combine work and rest, get proper nutrition and adequate sleep. Attach importance to the publicity and education of menstrual physiology, and eliminate patients' fear, anxiety and mental burden through explanation and persuasion. Strengthen menstrual hygiene, avoid strenuous exercise, excessive fatigue and prevent cold.

2. Inhibit ovulation: If the patient is willing to control fertility, oral contraceptive tablets (combined norethindrone tablets or compound megestrol acetate tablets) are the first choice for the treatment of primary dysmenorrhea. More than 90% of symptoms can be relieved by using oral contraceptives, which may be due to the inhibition of endometrial growth, reduced menstrual volume, and the reduction of drug dosage below normal levels, resulting in weakened uterine activity. The treatment can be tried for 3 to 4 cycles. If the effect is satisfactory, it can be continued; if the symptoms do not improve significantly, synthesis inhibitors can be added appropriately.

3. Prostaglandin synthesis inhibitors: Fenbid. This type of drug can inhibit the synthesis of prostaglandins, reduce uterine tension and contractility, and achieve the purpose of treating dysmenorrhea. Dosage: Generally, take the medicine continuously for 2 to 3 days before the onset of menstrual dysmenorrhea. If the pain is severe, take 2 tablets/q12h. Because the release of prostaglandins is the highest in the first 48 hours of menstruation, early use of the medicine can correct the excessive synthesis and release of prostaglandins in the blood during menstruation.

To sum up, dysmenorrhea is usually treated with medication, and physical care during menstruation can also play a vital role, so women with this symptom should pay more attention. In addition, the editor strongly reminds everyone not to take medicine blindly on their own, but to use it under the guidance of a professional gynecologist.
