Dysmenorrhea is a common and frequently occurring gynecological disease with multiple causes, complex pathogenesis, high recurrence rate and difficult treatment, especially among unmarried young women and girls in the early stages of menstruation. Dysmenorrhea manifests as bloating and pain in the lower abdomen during or before and after menstruation, mostly starting at the onset of menstruation or a few hours before vaginal bleeding, with periodic symptoms of distension and pain in the lower abdomen, cold pain, burning pain, stabbing pain, dull pain, heaviness, colic, spasmodic pain, and tearing pain. The pain may extend to the sacrum, lumbar back, and even involve the thighs and feet, lasting 1/2 to 2 hours.

The site of dysmenorrhea is mostly in the lower abdomen. In severe cases, the dysmenorrhea can radiate to the lumbosacral region or the anterior medial thigh. More than 50% of dysmenorrhea patients have systemic symptoms: swollen breasts, anal distension, chest tightness, irritability, sadness, anger, palpitations, insomnia, headaches, dizziness, nausea and vomiting, stomach pain and diarrhea, fatigue, pale complexion, cold limbs, cold sweats, collapse and fainting. After the onset of severe abdominal pain, it turns into moderate paroxysmal pain, which lasts about 13-24 hours. The dysmenorrhea gradually disappears after the menstrual blood flows smoothly, but sometimes women need to stay in bed for 2 to 3 days. The high incidence, wide range, close cycle and great pain of dysmenorrhea have seriously affected the work and study of many women and reduced the quality of life.

Primary dysmenorrhea often occurs during ovulatory menstruation, so there are usually no symptoms or only mild discomfort in the first 1 to 2 years after menarche. Severe dysmenorrhea often occurs in young women 1 to 2 years after menarche. If regular dysmenorrhea occurs at the beginning or crampy dysmenorrhea occurs after the age of 25, other abnormal conditions should be considered. Primary pain often disappears on its own after childbirth, or gradually disappears with age after marriage.
