What to do if you have menstrual cramps

If you always have symptoms of dysmenorrhea during your period, you should regulate your body. You can do this through Chinese medicine and diet. Do not expose yourself to cold during your period.

Dysmenorrhea is one of the most common gynecological symptoms. It refers to lower abdominal pain and distension before, during, or after menstruation, accompanied by backache or other discomfort, which seriously affects the quality of life. Dysmenorrhea is divided into two categories: primary dysmenorrhea and secondary dysmenorrhea. Primary dysmenorrhea refers to dysmenorrhea without organic lesions of the reproductive organs; secondary dysmenorrhea refers to dysmenorrhea caused by organic pelvic diseases, such as endometriosis and adenomyosis.

1. Primary dysmenorrhea is more common in adolescence, often occurring within 1 to 2 years after menarche. The main symptom is lower abdominal pain that occurs regularly during the menstrual cycle. The symptoms of secondary dysmenorrhea are the same as those of primary dysmenorrhea. Secondary pain caused by endometriosis often progressively worsens.

2. The pain usually starts after menstruation, and the earliest appearance is 12 hours before menstruation. The pain is most severe on the first day of menstruation and lasts for 2 to 3 days before being relieved. The pain is often spasmodic. It is usually not accompanied by abdominal muscle tension or rebound pain.

3. It may be accompanied by symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, fatigue, etc. In severe cases, the face will turn pale and cold sweats will occur.

4. No abnormalities were found in the gynecological examination.
