What should I do if I have painful menstrual period?

Nowadays, girls do not pay attention to the menstrual period when they are very young. They do not mind eating cold drinks or adjusting their work and rest time to a more appropriate time. If you don't pay attention in the early stages, it can easily lead to frequent dysmenorrhea and even affect future fertility, which is very serious. So, what should you do if you have dysmenorrhea? How to alleviate this symptom? Today, I will provide you with some experience.

Dysmenorrhea is one of the most common gynecological symptoms. It refers to lower abdominal pain and distension before, during, or after menstruation, accompanied by back pain or other discomfort, and the symptoms seriously affect the quality of life. Dysmenorrhea is divided into two categories: primary dysmenorrhea and secondary dysmenorrhea. Primary dysmenorrhea refers to dysmenorrhea without organic lesions of the reproductive organs, accounting for more than 90% of dysmenorrhea; secondary dysmenorrhea refers to dysmenorrhea caused by organic pelvic diseases.

The occurrence of primary dysmenorrhea is mainly related to the increase in endometrial prostaglandin content during menstruation. It is the main cause of dysmenorrhea when its levels are elevated. High levels can cause excessive contraction of uterine smooth muscle, vascular spasm, uterine ischemia and hypoxia, and cause dysmenorrhea.

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.
