How terrible is menstrual cramps for girls?

Menstrual pain is an opponent that every girl worries about. How terrible is menstrual cramps? Some netizens said: "The pain is so tiring, but later I feel like I've been reborn in blood." They think that girls are fighting against the sticky fairy menstrual cramps during "those few days" of each month. First of all, we need to correctly understand the causes of menstrual pain, which can be divided into two categories.

Primary dysmenorrhea: refers to the condition in which there is unexplained pain during menstruation, and no functional pathological cause can be found. During menstruation, the body secretes prostaglandins, a type of androgen, which causes the uterine wall to slough off, stimulating the uterine muscles and causing cramps. This pain may suddenly disappear with aging, when you start having sex, or during pregnancy.

Secondary dysmenorrhea: Secondary dysmenorrhea is dysmenorrhea caused by urinary system diseases. Its main manifestations vary with different causes of the disease. Generally, the pain is deep and dull. If you have pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis or benign tumors, they can cause menstrual pain.

When menstruation comes, many people like to apply a hand warmer on their abdomen, or put on a heat patch to feel less pain. This type of system belongs to Yin deficiency and internal heat. You can usually press the "Sanyinjiao" and "Taichong" acupoints appropriately and lightly, which are beneficial to promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis and regulating qi: "Sanyinjiao" is located on the inner side of the calf, three fingers wide above the ankle; and "Taichong" is located between the bones of the foot, between the big toe and the second toe. When menstrual pain or lower abdominal pain occurs, massaging these two points can help alleviate the symptoms.
