How to quickly relieve menstrual pain

Dysmenorrhea usually refers to abdominal pain or discomfort during or before and after menstruation. Dysmenorrhea is a common phenomenon for many women during their menstrual cycle, but for some women, dysmenorrhea can be very serious and affect their daily life and work. Dysmenorrhea is usually caused by genetic factors, lifestyle factors, increased prostaglandin levels, uterine contractions, gynecological diseases, etc. Methods for quick pain relief include general treatment, physical therapy, drug therapy, etc. The details are as follows:

1. Genetic factors: Some women may have a genetic predisposition to dysmenorrhea. If there are family members with dysmenorrhea, they are more likely to have dysmenorrhea. There is currently no effective treatment, and it is recommended to strengthen self-care, such as maintaining good living habits, avoiding staying up late, and keeping a happy mood.

2. Lifestyle factors: such as stress, lack of exercise, bad eating habits, smoking and drinking, etc., may affect the severity of dysmenorrhea. It is recommended to change bad living habits, such as avoiding staying up late, keeping a regular schedule, and exercising appropriately. At the same time, avoid eating cold drinks, spicy and other irritating foods, and eat more warm and easily digestible foods. Before and after menstruation, you can take hot compresses, massage and other methods to relieve pain.

3. Increased prostaglandin content: Prostaglandins can cause uterine contraction and vascular contraction, leading to uterine ischemia and hypoxia, and then dysmenorrhea. Prostaglandins can also affect the nervous system, leading to increased pain. It is recommended to use prostaglandin synthase inhibitors, such as ibuprofen, diclofenac sodium and other analgesics to relieve pain as prescribed by the doctor.

4. Uterine contraction: Dysmenorrhea is usually caused by uterine contraction. During menstruation, the uterus contracts to help expel endometrial tissue. If the uterine contraction is too strong, it will lead to insufficient blood supply and cause pain. It is recommended to use some drugs to inhibit uterine contraction, such as nifedipine, atenolol, etc. according to the doctor's advice. At the same time, keeping a happy mood and avoiding excessive tension and anxiety can also help relieve the pain caused by uterine contraction.

5. Gynecological diseases: Endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, adenomyosis, uterine fibroids, etc. may also cause dysmenorrhea. For dysmenorrhea caused by gynecological diseases, it is recommended to treat the primary disease. For dysmenorrhea caused by endometriosis, adenomyosis, etc., you can use contraceptive rings as prescribed by the doctor to relieve pain, or you can take oral contraceptives as prescribed by the doctor, such as desogestrel ethinyl estradiol tablets and drospirenone ethinyl estradiol tablets to relieve it. If the patient has diseases such as adenomyosis and ovarian cysts, it is recommended to seek medical attention in time. You can follow the doctor's advice to use gestrinone capsules, danazol capsules, etc. Severe cases may also require surgical treatment.

Patients with dysmenorrhea should maintain a balanced diet and avoid eating foods with too much sugar. Appropriate exercise can promote blood circulation and relieve dysmenorrhea symptoms. During menstruation, the body should be kept warm, avoiding cold and rain. At the same time, attention should be paid to keeping the abdomen warm. Drinking warm water or ginger tea can relieve pain.
