What to do if you have stomach pain after your menstrual period

Recently everyone is very troubled about the issue of menstruation, because love comes once a month for every woman, but what should some women do when their menstruation does not come and they have stomach pain? They do not have the knowledge in this area, especially many young girls who do not know this knowledge. When this problem occurs, they will be very nervous and stressed. You are also embarrassed to find a doctor for advice, so let's talk about what to do when your menstruation does not come and you have stomach pain?

1. Causes of dysmenorrhea

Severe lower abdominal pain during menstruation that disappears naturally after menstruation is called dysmenorrhea. Most dysmenorrhea occurs during menstruation, and for some people it occurs a few days before menstruation. The abdominal pain worsens after menstruation, but everything is normal after menstruation. The characteristics of abdominal pain are closely related to menstruation. Abdominal pain will not occur if menstruation does not come. Therefore, abdominal pain that is not related to menstruation is not dysmenorrhea. Dysmenorrhea can be divided into primary dysmenorrhea and secondary dysmenorrhea. Primary dysmenorrhea refers to abdominal pain that occurs from the beginning of menstruation, while secondary dysmenorrhea refers to abdominal pain during menstruation that occurs several years or even more than ten years after menstruation. The causes of the two types of dysmenorrhea are different. The causes of primary dysmenorrhea are a narrow uterine opening, uterine hypoplasia, or large pieces of endometrium in the menstrual blood. The latter condition is called membranous dysmenorrhea. Sometimes menstrual blood contains blood clots, which can also cause lower abdominal pain. The causes of secondary dysmenorrhea are mostly caused by diseases, such as endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, pelvic congestion, etc. In recent years, it has been discovered that increased synthesis of prostaglandins in the endometrium can also cause dysmenorrhea. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the cause of dysmenorrhea through examination and then treat it accordingly.

2. Dietary treatment for dysmenorrhea

Women experience pain in the lower abdomen and lumbosacral area before, during, or after menstruation. In severe cases, the pain is severe, the face becomes pale, the hands and feet become cold, and there may even be fainting. This is called "dysmenorrhea" or "menstrual abdominal pain." The pain often lasts for several hours or 1-2 days. Generally, the abdominal pain will be relieved after the menstrual blood flows smoothly. This disease is more common in young women and is one of the common diseases among women. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that dysmenorrhea is mostly caused by poor circulation of Qi and blood or deficiency of Qi and blood. Common clinical symptoms include qi stagnation and blood stasis, cold stagnation in the uterus, qi and blood deficiency, and dampness and heat.

Diet therapy can play a better preventive and therapeutic role. Patients with dysmenorrhea should eat light and easily digestible food within 3-5 days before menstruation. You should eat food that is easy to digest and absorb, and you should not eat too much. In particular, you should avoid eating raw and cold foods, because raw and cold foods can stimulate the contraction of the uterus and fallopian tubes, thereby inducing or aggravating dysmenorrhea. Once menstruation has started, you should avoid all raw, cold, indigestible and irritating foods, such as chili peppers, raw onions, raw garlic, pepper, strong liquor, etc. During this period, patients can eat some sour foods, such as sauerkraut, vinegar, etc. Sour foods can relieve pain.

Knowing this situation, there are so many ways to treat abdominal pain caused by delayed menstruation. Therefore, female friends who suffer from this disease should pay more attention to their bodies and pay more attention to their eating habits. If any accidents happen, please contact the doctor in time and follow the doctor's instructions in time. I want to put a lot of pressure on myself and my family. Take good care of your body every day, be healthy and happy, and female friends should pay more attention to such knowledge.
