What are the ways to treat dysmenorrhea?

Dysmenorrhea is a condition that many women often encounter. It is particularly complicated and there are many reasons leading to this condition. Everyone must pay attention to it because it is likely caused by various diseases. Many friends do not pay much attention to it, which leads to the delay of the best treatment time for the disease. Now let me give you a detailed introduction.

1. Primary dysmenorrhea is more common in adolescence, often occurring within 1 to 2 years after menarche.

2. The pain usually starts after menstruation, and the earliest appearance is 12 hours before menstruation. The pain is most severe on the first day of menstruation and lasts for 2 to 3 days before being relieved. The pain is often spasmodic and located above the pubic bone in the lower abdomen, and may radiate to the lumbar region and inner thigh.

3. It may be accompanied by symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, fatigue, etc. In severe cases, the face will turn pale and cold sweats will occur.

4. No abnormalities were found during gynecological examination.

Dysmenorrhea is a common symptom among women. Dysmenorrhea before marriage will disappear naturally as you grow up, especially after marriage and childbirth, and there is no need for treatment. Except in individual cases. However, dysmenorrhea pain that lasts for up to 3 days should be treated. The treatment of primary dysmenorrhea is mainly symptomatic treatment, with analgesia and sedation as the main therapies. In recent years, comprehensive treatments have been adopted, including spiritual counseling, Chinese medicine, Western medicine and acupuncture.

1. General treatment

(1) Pay attention to psychological treatment and eliminate tension and worries.

(2) Get enough rest and sleep, exercise regularly and moderately, and quit smoking.

(3) When the pain is unbearable, supplement with medication.

2. Medication

(1) Commonly used prostaglandin synthase inhibitors include ibuprofen, ketoprofen, meclofenamic acid, diclofenac, etc.

(2) Oral contraceptives are suitable for women with dysmenorrhea who require contraception, with an effectiveness rate of over 90%.

It should be very clear now. Everyone should also be very clear about the reasons that lead to this situation. In normal times, everyone should develop good living habits first, so that they can better prevent dysmenorrhea. If dysmenorrhea occurs, everyone should go to the hospital for treatment in time.
