How does Traditional Chinese Medicine classify and treat dysmenorrhea?

TCM has a trick for treating dysmenorrhea by classification. TCM believes that there are two main causes of dysmenorrhea: one is deficiency syndrome, that is, "pain occurs when there is no nourishment", and the other is excess syndrome, that is, "pain occurs when there is no circulation". Therefore, TCM also has different treatment methods according to different symptoms.

·Qi and blood deficiency: continuous abdominal pain during menstruation, scanty menstruation, light-colored and thin menstruation, fatigue, sallow complexion, poor appetite, loose stools, etc. You should take drugs that have the effects of replenishing qi, nourishing blood and relieving pain to treat dysmenorrhea.

· Yang deficiency and internal cold: cold pain in the lower abdomen during or after menstruation, light menstruation and scanty flow, accompanied by backache and weak legs, cold hands and feet, and long and clear urine. You should take medicines that warm the meridians and dispel cold, nourish blood and relieve pain. For example, brown sugar ginger soup is very effective for cold dysmenorrhea. Brown sugar has the effects of nourishing blood, dispersing stasis, warming the liver, and dispelling cold, while ginger has the effects of nourishing the middle and dispersing cold, and relieving dysmenorrhea. The two medicines can be used together to nourish qi and blood, warm the meridians and activate blood circulation.

· Liver and kidney deficiency: 1-2 days after the end of menstruation, back pain, leg weakness, lower abdominal pain, or hot flashes, dizziness, tinnitus, etc. You should take drugs that have the effects of nourishing the kidneys, liver and relieving pain.

Qi stagnation and blood stasis: abdominal distension and pain, nipple tenderness, irritability, scanty menstruation or menstrual irregularities before or during menstruation. Dysmenorrhea should be treated with drugs that soothe the liver and regulate qi, dissipate blood stasis and relieve pain.
