Many female friends feel a bit uncomfortable during menstruation, such as physical pain? So, why does the stomach ache during menstruation? How is dysmenorrhea treated?
Women who feel uncomfortable during menstruation, such as bloating or mild pain in their lower abdomen, and low back pain, are not abnormal phenomena. However, some women begin to experience abdominal distension and pain one or two days before their menstrual period, which worsens and becomes unbearable. Sometimes, the pain lasts for several days, and they are unable to work, study, and live normally until the end of their period. More severe are headaches, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, pale complexion, sweating, cold hands and feet, fainting, etc., which is commonly referred to as dysmenorrhea.
There are many reasons for physiological pain, but in summary, there are two types.
One type is caused by changes in the quality of the reproductive organs, and the most common ones are pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis, and submucosal fibroids of the uterus. After treatment, dysmenorrhea can also improve. Another reason is that there is no significant change in the quality of the reproductive organs, mainly due to psychological factors. Menarche girls lack knowledge of menstruation, develop panic psychology, and associate other bleeding with pain. Listening to others say that their stomachs ache during menstruation is the same for every woman. In addition, vigorous exercise and excessive fatigue during menstruation may also lead to dysmenorrhea.
At the same time, defects in the uterus itself, such as infertility in uterine development, and obvious forward or backward bending of the uterus position, can cause physiological pain.
For such physiological pain, the first thing to do is to relax the mind, eliminate fear, do not pass the physiological day, pay attention to insulation, do not eat raw or cold food, do not swim, maintain a happy mood, and believe that the painful physiological pain will be greatly alleviated.
What to do if encountering dysmenorrhea
Dysmenorrhea is generally treated with medication, and in addition, taking traditional Chinese medicine to treat pain often has an effect. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that if not understood, it will cause pain, so the principle of treatment is to nourish the body, and if understood, it will not cause pain. Promoting blood circulation and regulating menstruation can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine for regulating qi and relieving pain. At the same time, with acupuncture and moxibustion treatment, take Sanyinjiao, Hegu, Neiguan points and moxibustion on Qihai and Guanyuan points. When dysmenorrhea occurs, acupuncture and moxibustion can be used immediately, often with good results.
