Why do women always have dysmenorrhea?

Dysmenorrhea is a symptom that bothers many women. Severe patients may experience lower abdominal pain since the onset of menstruation, and the pain usually persists. Every menstrual period can be said to be a very painful experience. So what is the reason why dysmenorrhea cannot be relieved? The editor has collected some opinions from traditional Chinese medicine for this purpose. Come and read the article together.

1. Qi stagnation and blood stasis. Main symptoms: Abdominal distension and pain one or two days before or during menstruation, resistance to pressure, scanty menstrual blood, or poor menstrual discharge, dark purple menstrual blood with clots, pain relieved when the clots are discharged, chest and flank breast swelling, dark purple tongue with petechiae on the sides, deep and stringy pulse. Analysis: The Chong meridian blocks the Qi and blood, causing poor circulation, so there is lower abdominal distension and pain before or during menstruation, resistance to pressure, and scanty menstrual flow or poor discharge; the menstrual blood is stagnant, so it is dark in color and has clots; the stasis under the clots is slightly cleared, so the pain is temporarily reduced; the stasis is discharged with the menstrual blood, so the pain disappears after menstruation.

2. Cold condenses in the cells. Main symptoms: cold pain in the lower abdomen during or after menstruation, relieved by pressure, less pain when warm, scanty menstrual flow, dark color, soreness and weakness in waist and legs, clear and long urination, white and moist tongue coating, and deep pulse. Analysis: Kidney Yang is weak, Chong, Ren and Baogong are warm first, and blood is stagnant due to deficiency cold, so there is cold pain in the lower abdomen during or after menstruation, and the menstruation is scanty and dark in color; the cold is transformed into heat, so the pain is reduced by heat; it is not due to blood stasis caused by actual cold, so it likes to be pressed.

3. Dampness and heat. Main symptoms: Lower abdominal distension and pain before and during menstruation, heavy menstrual flow, red color, thick texture or with clots, usually yellow or foul-smelling vaginal discharge, red tongue with yellow and greasy coating, and stringy and rapid pulse. Analysis: Exogenous or internal damp-heat flows into Chong and Ren meridians, blocking Qi and blood, causing menstruation to be disrupted, resulting in abdominal pain during menstruation; heat disturbing Chong and Ren meridians will cause excessive, red menstrual flow with lumps; heat burning body fluids will cause thick menstrual fluid; damp-heat flowing downward and damaging Ren and Dai meridians will cause vaginal discharge to be yellow or have a foul odor.

To sum up, dysmenorrhea is divided into many types, and the causes of each type are different. The editor recommends that patients should undergo a detailed gynecological examination when symptoms are severe. If necessary, they can take Chinese patent medicines such as Motherwort Granules for conditioning, which can relieve pain without causing other damage to the body.
