What are the methods of treating dysmenorrhea in traditional Chinese medicine?

Modern medicine believes that any lower abdominal pain before, during, or after menstruation that affects work and life is called dysmenorrhea. There are many causes of dysmenorrhea, which are generally related to psychological factors, such as emotional excitement, depression, mental tension, etc. Sometimes excessive fatigue, strenuous activities, rain, cold, and large amounts of cold drinks can also cause dysmenorrhea. Girls who have experienced it will feel very painful, so it is most important to regulate dysmenorrhea in a timely manner.
