What are the types of dysmenorrhea

Dysmenorrhea is a common problem among women, and it is also a health problem that has a certain impact on the physical health and mental state of many women. There are many causes of dysmenorrhea. According to different causes, dysmenorrhea is also divided into different types, mainly including: qi stagnation and blood stasis type, cold and dampness stagnation type, and qi and blood deficiency and dryness type. Here are three common types of dysmenorrhea!

1. Qi stagnation and blood stasis type

Symptoms often include lower abdominal pain or lower back pain before and during menstruation, accompanied by breast tenderness, irritability and irritability. Severe cold hands and feet, dark blood clots in menstruation.

Cause: Due to stagnation of liver qi, lips become colorless, leading to poor circulation of qi and blood in meridians, resulting in “pain due to obstruction”.

Prescription: Mainly based on "soothing the liver and regulating qi, promoting blood circulation and relieving pain". Patients can eat some qi-regulating foods, such as radish; they can also drink some tangerine peel water and rose tea frequently. But the amount should not be too large

Method: You can massage your lower abdomen frequently before your period comes, massaging your lower abdomen 36 times clockwise and 36 times counterclockwise every day.

2. Cold-damp stagnation type

Symptoms: Pain in the lower abdomen and waist before or during menstruation, accompanied by cold hands and feet, especially severe pain at night or before meals.

Cause: Taking a shower, sitting in a damp place for a long time, or being exposed to wind and cold can lead to blocked meridians and deficiency of Yang Qi in the human body, resulting in blood circulation disorders.

Prescription: Treatment should focus on "warming the meridians and dispelling cold, promoting blood circulation and unblocking collaterals". Patients can eat some warming yang foods. You can also drink more jujube, brown sugar and ginger water. Please note (do not buy raw granulated sugar). You can also eat slightly spicy food, such as onions, ginger, garlic and chili peppers.

Method: You can use Bujingcao Chinese medicine hot compress pack on the abdomen to relieve pain.

3. Qi and blood deficiency and dryness type

Symptoms: persistent abdominal pain, hair loss, pale face, colorless lips, accompanied by dizziness, blurred vision, fatigue and other symptoms of qi and blood deficiency.

Causes: Some patients have congenital reasons; some patients have acquired spleen and stomach weakness, resulting in insufficient Qi and blood; or postpartum Qi and blood deficiency, or long-term fatigue leading to Qi and blood deficiency.

Prescription: The treatment is mainly based on "replenishing Qi and blood, relieving acute pain". You can use some Chinese medicine such as Codonopsis pilosula, longan meat, deer antler, Polygonum multiflorum, ginseng, etc. for nourishment, which is a warm tonic.

Method: Soak your feet. Soaking your feet in angelica, chuanxiong, ginger, mugwort and safflower has the effects of warming the meridians, promoting yang, dispelling cold and relieving pain.
