What should girls do if they have stomach pain during menstruation?

Starting from the age of twelve or thirteen, girls will gradually start to have menstruation. It is not very stable at the beginning, but after the menstruation matures, it will come once a month. There is a certain menstrual cycle, and each menstruation lasts for 5 to 7 days. Menstruation has a very serious meaning for women. During the menstrual period, the female body is relatively weak, especially for women with dysmenorrhea, which will be unbearable, restless, and very painful.

Abdominal pain that occurs during menstruation is medically known as dysmenorrhea. Women feel pain in the lower abdomen during menstruation, but this pain disappears naturally after the menstruation ends. Most women with dysmenorrhea have obvious symptoms of lower abdominal pain in the first few days of menstruation, and the pain is severe. At the end of menstruation, the pain symptoms will be relieved a lot, and everything will return to normal at the end of menstruation. In other words, abdominal pain and menstruation go hand in hand, and abdominal pain that has nothing to do with menstruation cannot be called dysmenorrhea.

The cause of primary menstrual abdominal pain is often because the female's uterine opening is narrow, the uterus is poorly developed, or there are large pieces of endometrium in the menstrual blood. The menstrual blood of these women contains blood clots; while secondary menstrual abdominal pain is mostly caused by certain gynecological diseases, such as vaginitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis and other diseases.

Women who experience abdominal pain during menstruation should pay attention to eating more easily digestible and light foods, and avoid eating raw, cold, spicy and irritating foods; they should pay attention to keeping warm during menstruation, and pay special attention to avoiding catching cold during menstruation. Do not get caught in the rain, swim, or take a cold shower during menstruation; and do not have sex during menstruation.

Women's menstrual conditions must be taken seriously. If they have dysmenorrhea, it will not only bring a lot of pain to the body and soul, but also indicate many hidden physiological diseases that need to be treated in time. Otherwise, it is very likely to have a certain impact on future fertility and lead to female infertility.
