What causes dysmenorrhea?

1. The occurrence of primary dysmenorrhea is mainly related to the increase of endometrial prostaglandin content during menstruation. Increased PGF2alpha content is the main cause of dysmenorrhea. High PGF2alpha content can cause excessive contraction of uterine smooth muscle, vascular spasm, leading to uterine ischemia, hypoxia and dysmenorrhea.

2. Increase vasopressin, endogenous oxytocin and endorphins.

3. Psychological and neurological factors.

4. Secondary pain is often caused by endometriosis.

Place the gauze in the center of the navel and two locations above the pubic bone below the navel, which can effectively relieve dysmenorrhea.

2. Taking painkillers

Some people worry that the drugs may have adverse reactions. The more pain they feel, the more anxious they are, and the more anxious they are, the more pain they feel. If you have severe stomach pain, you can take painkillers such as ibuprofen, ketoprofen, meclofenamic acid, diclofenac, etc.

3. Exercise during menstruation

Many female friends like to lie down or sit quietly when they have dysmenorrhea. They don't like to exercise, thinking that exercise will make dysmenorrhea more severe. In fact, this idea is wrong. Although adequate rest and sleep are necessary, moderate exercise is conducive to smooth menstrual blood flow. Therefore, the editor here hopes that all female friends can try to exercise during menstruation~

4. Hot compress

Some female friends feel a cool feeling in their lower abdomen during menstruation. Placing a warm towel or hot water bottle on the lower abdomen can help the menstrual blood flow smoothly and have a pain-relieving effect.

5. Relieve Emotions

There is a very important relationship between dysmenorrhea and emotions. Many people's dysmenorrhea is not very serious, but because something irritates her, she becomes irritable and angry, which only makes her pain worse. Eliminate tension and worries, and receive psychological treatment if necessary.

Precautions for dysmenorrhea

There are many "mild" fruits. For example, lychee has a sweet and sour taste and is rich in vitamin C and protein. It can replenish energy and enhance the body's immunity. It is a very suitable fruit to eat during menstruation. In addition to lychee, kumquat, pomegranate, bayberry, peach, cherry, tangerine, orange, plum, and papaya are all warm fruits and can be eaten during menstruation.

There are also "cold fruits" that cannot be eaten during menstruation. A typical example is watermelon. Although watermelon contains a lot of water, multiple amino acids and sugars, it has the effect of clearing away heat and relieving summer heat, refreshing and quenching thirst. However, watermelon is cold and slippery in nature, also known as "cold melon". Even normal people should not eat it in excess, and women during menstruation should be more cautious. In addition to watermelon, other fruits that women cannot eat during menstruation include: cantaloupe, melon, grapefruit, persimmon, kiwi, carambola, mulberry, banana, mango, pear, monk fruit, strawberry, etc.

The above are the fruits that you should not eat when you have dysmenorrhea. Have you remembered them?
