Secondary dysmenorrhea refers to dysmenorrhea caused by organic lesions of the pelvis. Its main characteristic is that the pain usually starts after menarche, first appears 12 hours before menstruation, is more severe on the first day of amenorrhea, and improves after 2-3 days. When the pain is unbearable, auxiliary medication can be used for treatment, such as the use of prostacyclin synthase inhibitors, which reduce the production of prostacyclin by inhibiting the activity of prostacyclin synthase.

Back pain and stomach pain

Ischemic bowel disease. This disease should fall under the category of "blood syndrome" in traditional Chinese medicine. It is caused by blood stasis due to deficiency, which leads to blood obstruction, blood not flowing through the meridians, and blood overflowing outside the vessels. In the basic theories of TCM on the characteristics of blood syndrome, Miao Xiyong's "Three Essential Methods for Treating Hematemesis" and Tang Rongchuan's "Four Methods for Treating Blood Syndrome" particularly attach great importance to the method of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. In the Ming Dynasty, Miao Xiyong's "Xianxingzhai Medical Notes on Hematemesis" emphasized the important roles of blood circulation, clearing liver fire and descending qi in the treatment of hematemesis, and put forward the three key methods for treating hematemesis: "it is better to promote blood circulation than to activate blood circulation", "it is better to clear liver fire than to damage the liver", and "it is better to descend qi than to reduce fire".

From a historical perspective, it is a new development in the treatment of exudative diseases and has the characteristics of making up for the shortcomings and remedying the disadvantages. When treating a patient, we must look at the three pairs of treatment methods, namely, promoting blood circulation - activating blood circulation, clearing liver fire - suppressing the liver, and descending qi - reducing fire, dialectically based on the patient's condition. In the Qing Dynasty, Tang Rongchuan clearly proposed the four methods of treating blood in "On Blood Syndromes": promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, calming blood, and nourishing yin and blood. Therefore, when treating blood diseases, promoting blood circulation is not the only important method. Therefore, the method of removing blood stasis is indeed the key to treating ischemic intestinal dysfunction, and is very worthy of emulation and reference in clinical medicine.
