The phenomenon of severe stomach pain during menstruation and natural disappearance after menstruation is called dysmenorrhea. Dysmenorrhea mostly occurs during menstruation, and some people occur a few days before menstruation. Abdominal pain is aggravated after menstrual cramps, and everything is normal after menstruation. The characteristics of abdominal pain are closely related to menstruation, and there will be no abdominal pain without menstruation. So abdominal pain unrelated to menstruation is not dysmenorrhea. Dysmenorrhea can be divided into primary dysmenorrhea and secondary dysmenorrhea. Primary dysmenorrhea refers to abdominal pain at the beginning of menstruation, while secondary dysmenorrhea refers to menstrual abdominal pain after several years or more. The causes of the two kinds of dysmenorrhea are different. The causes of primary dysmenorrhea are uterine stenosis, uterine dysplasia or large endometrium in menstrual blood. The latter condition is called membranous dysmenorrhea. Sometimes menstrual blood contains blood clots, which can also cause stomach pain. The causes of secondary dysmenorrhea are mostly caused by diseases, such as endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease and pelvic congestion. In recent years, it has been found that the increase of prostaglandin synthesis in endometrium can also cause dysmenorrhea. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the cause of dysmenorrhea through examination, and then treat it according to the cause.

2. Dietary aftercare for dysmenorrhea

Women will have lower abdomen and lumbosacral pain before and after menstruation. Severe cases have severe abdominal pain, pale face, cold hands and feet, and even syncope, which is called dysmenorrhea, also known as menstrual abdominal pain. Pain usually lasts for several hours or 1-2 days. Generally, abdominal pain is relieved after the blood is unblocked. This disease is more common in young women and is one of the common female diseases. Chinese medicine believes that dysmenorrhea is mostly caused by poor qi and blood circulation or insufficient qi and blood. Clinically, symptoms such as qi stagnation and blood stasis, uterine cold coagulation, weakness of qi and blood, and downward flow of damp heat are common. Dietotherapy can play a very good role in prevention and treatment. Patients with dysmenorrhea should have a light and digestible diet within 3-5 days before menstrual cramps. You should eat food that is easy to digest and absorb, and you should not overeat. In particular, you should avoid eating cold food, because cold food can stimulate the contraction of uterus and fallopian tubes, thus inducing or aggravating dysmenorrhea. When menstruation comes, avoid all cold, indigestible and irritating foods, such as peppers, raw onions, raw garlic, peppers and spirits. During this period, patients can eat some sour food, such as sauerkraut and vinegar, which can relieve pain.

In addition, people with dysmenorrhea should keep their stools unobstructed before or after menstruation. Try to eat more honey, bananas, celery and sweet potatoes. Constipation can induce dysmenorrhea and aggravate pain. Some people think that moderate drinking in patients with dysmenorrhea can dredge menstruation, dilate blood vessels and relax smooth muscle, which is helpful for the prevention and treatment of dysmenorrhea. If the amount of menstruation is not much, you can drink some wine in moderation, which can alleviate the symptoms and play a certain therapeutic role. Wine has an exciting effect on human body because it contains ethanol. People with dysmenorrhea caused by emotional depression can drink some wine properly, which can relax the mood, soothe the liver and relieve boredom, and promote qi and qi. In addition, the taste of wine is sweet and warm, which can be achieved by New Sanneng. For dysmenorrhea caused by stagnation of cold and dampness, it can dispel cold and dampness, promote blood circulation and dredge menstruation; Ganwen can tonify and slow down. For dysmenorrhea caused by deficiency of qi and blood, it can warm yang, replenish blood and relieve pain.

Patients with dysmenorrhea should have diversified diets, not partial eclipse, and often eat some vegetables and fruits with the functions of regulating qi and promoting blood circulation, such as shepherd's purse, orchid root, coriander, carrot, orange, bergamot and ginger. People with weak constitution and lack of qi and blood should often eat foods that tonify qi, blood and liver and kidney, such as chicken, duck, fish, eggs, milk, animal liver and kidney, fish and beans.

Under normal circumstances, due to pelvic congestion during menstruation, it is normal for the lower abdomen to have a slight sense of ups and downs, not pathological. However, when the pain is serious, even affecting daily life and work, and medication is needed, it belongs to a pathological state, which is called dysmenorrhea in medicine. Dysmenorrhea caused by pathological changes in reproductive organs is called secondary dysmenorrhea. Dysmenorrhea without organic lesions in reproductive organs is called primary dysmenorrhea.

Primary pain often occurs shortly after menarche, or in unmarried pregnant women. The possible reason is the increase of prostaglandin content in endometrium and blood. The only treatment is to take drugs containing prostaglandin synthase inhibitors, such as indomethacin or acetylsalicylic acid, during menstrual cramps to relieve symptoms. The causes of secondary dysmenorrhea are complicated. Cervical stenosis, uterine dysplasia, endometriosis, endocrine abnormalities or pelvic inflammatory disease can all cause dysmenorrhea. A series of tests are needed to determine the cause.

Primary dysmenorrhea generally has no effect on fertility. Some secondary dysmenorrhea will have an impact on fertility, such as uterine dysplasia, endometriosis, endocrine abnormalities and so on. Obstetrics and gynecology in many large hospitals can do corresponding examination and treatment. I suggest you carefully find out the cause and treat the symptoms.
