What causes abdominal pain after menstruation?

Menstruation is something that women experience every month, so it is important to understand it. Of course, the existence of menstruation also has its own significance. It can prevent the body from absorbing too much iron, it can also allow women to detect their diseases in time, and it can also make the body's hematopoietic function function. Since it is so important, we should pay more attention to it. I heard that many women will have stomach pain after menstruation. Let me show you about it below.

<1>It is a normal phenomenon

During menstruation, female bleeding is the process of expelling the implanted egg from the uterine wall. The egg in the uterus is equivalent to a flower. Each menstrual period is the time when the flower withers. In order to grow a new flower, the old flower must be eliminated. Therefore, menstruation is the period for expelling old flowers, and half a month later is the time for new flowers to grow. The reason why menstruation is called menstruation is that a woman's ovulation and egg-laying period is a 28-day cycle.

The stomach ache is because you are in the period of large egg production, which proves that you are healthy now. When a woman's egg production decreases, her estrogen level will decrease, and then she will suffer from various aging diseases.

<2> Dysmenorrhea

After menstruation, women experience pain in the lower abdomen and lumbosacral region. In severe cases, the abdominal pain is severe, the complexion is pale, the hands and feet are cold, and even fainting occurs. This is called "dysmenorrhea" or "menstrual abdominal pain". The pain often lasts for several hours or 1 or 2 days. Generally, the abdominal pain is relieved after the menstrual blood flows smoothly. This disease is more common in young women and is one of the common diseases in women. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that dysmenorrhea is mostly caused by poor circulation of qi and blood or qi and blood deficiency. Clinically, common symptoms include qi stagnation and blood stasis, cold stagnation in the uterus, qi and blood deficiency, and damp heat. Diet therapy can play a good preventive and therapeutic role. Dysmenorrhea patients should eat light and easy-to-digest food 3-5 days before menstruation. Foods that are easy to digest and absorb should be eaten, and it is not advisable to eat too much. In particular, raw and cold foods should be avoided, because raw and cold foods can stimulate the uterus and fallopian tube contraction, thereby inducing or aggravating dysmenorrhea.

From the above content, everyone also knows why women still have stomach pain after menstruation. Menstruation is very important for female friends, and what is more important is that everyone knows how to take care of themselves. Do not exercise excessively before and after menstruation and do not eat a lot of spicy food, which will relieve stomach pain.
