What are the symptoms of dysmenorrhea caused by blood stasis and qi stagnation?

When women have physiological phenomena, their immunity is low and they are easily invaded by pathogens. If some female friends do not pay enough attention, it may cause dysmenorrhea, so it is particularly important to pay attention to personal hygiene care and prevention. However, what are the symptoms of dysmenorrhea caused by blood stasis and qi stagnation?

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that before and after menstruation, women are affected by pathological factors, and the blood and qi in the Chong, Ren and uterus change rapidly, and the circulation is not smooth, resulting in "pain due to obstruction" or "pain due to lack of nourishment". Clinically, several different types of dysmenorrhea are common: blood stasis and qi stagnation, cold and dampness stagnation, qi and blood deficiency, liver and kidney deficiency. According to the syndrome differentiation and treatment, Chinese medicine prescriptions such as Gexia Zhuyu Decoction, Shaofu Zhuyu Decoction, Shengyu Decoction and Tiaogan Decoction are used for treatment.

The symptoms of dysmenorrhea due to blood stasis and qi stagnation are unbearable pain in the lower abdomen, resistance to pressure, pain like needles, scanty menstrual flow, dark purple color with blood clots, and poor menstrual flow. After the blood clots are removed, the lower abdominal pain may be relieved, and it is accompanied by upset mood, fullness and discomfort in the chest and flanks, depression, greenish-yellow complexion, dark tongue with thin white coating, and deep and stringy pulse.

Blood stasis and qi stagnation can be treated with foot soaking. The treatment of dysmenorrhea with blood stasis and qi stagnation should focus on harmonizing qi and blood, removing blood stasis and relieving pain. As the saying goes, "women are based on the liver", so it is recommended that the Chinese medicinal materials selected for foot soaking should mainly be those that enter the foot Jueyin liver meridian, and an appropriate amount of meridian-guiding vinegar can be added. You can add 30 grams of motherwort, 30 grams of lindera, 30 grams of green peel, 10 grams of safflower, and 10 grams of Chuanxiong, then add 2 liters of water and 50 milliliters of vinegar, boil over high heat, then turn to low heat and simmer for half an hour, then cool the boiled medicine and soak your feet with the residue. Note that the amount of medicine should be enough to soak your ankles. If the amount of medicine is not enough, add a little more warm water.

For women with scanty menstruation, proper physical exercise can promote the shedding of the endometrium, which is beneficial for menstrual health care. For people with dysmenorrhea, it can reduce psychological pressure, eliminate mental tension, relieve the degree of uterine spasm, and help recovery from dysmenorrhea.
