How to relieve menstrual cramps

How to relieve dysmenorrhea?

Dysmenorrhea may be caused by physiological factors, colds, abnormal uterine position, hymen occlusion, uterine fibroids, etc. General treatment, drug treatment, and surgical treatment can relieve dysmenorrhea according to the cause.

1. Physiological factors:

During menstruation, the endometrium produces a hormone called prostaglandins. As prostaglandins increase, it can cause excessive uterine contraction, vasospasm, uterine ischemia and hypoxia, leading to dysmenorrhea symptoms. At this time, paying attention to rest can relieve it.

2. Catch a cold:

Eating ice cream, drinking cold drinks, and abdominal colds during menstruation can lead to poor menstrual blood discharge and cause dysmenorrhea symptoms. At this time, drink more warm water to promote blood circulation. At the same time, pay attention to abdominal warmth to relieve dysmenorrhea.

3. Abnormal uterine position:

If the uterus is extremely retroflexed or anteflexed, it will affect the discharge of menstrual blood and cause dysmenorrhea. You can take ibuprofen, acetaminophen and other drugs as recommended by your doctor to relieve the discomfort.

4. Hymen occlusion:

Hymen occlusion can lead to obstruction of menstrual blood discharge, and blood stasis can cause dysmenorrhea, which requires surgical treatment.

5. Uterine fibroids:

When uterine fibroids grow larger, they will compress the uterine wall, causing uncoordinated uterine contractions. Symptoms such as dysmenorrhea and lower abdominal swelling may occur, requiring surgical treatment.

If dysmenorrhea is severe, you need to see a doctor and cooperate with the doctor for treatment after the cause is determined.
