What are the common causes of dysmenorrhea in women?

Dysmenorrhea is a very common symptom in female physiological period. Different people and constitutions have different degrees of dysmenorrhea pain. Some women are in great pain and need to be relieved in time. There are many factors that can cause dysmenorrhea. What are the common causes of dysmenorrhea in women? What foods should women eat for dysmenorrhea? Let me introduce it to you.

1, causes of female dysmenorrhea

1, suffering from pelvic inflammatory disease

Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is a common gynecological disease. The symptoms of the disease range from mild to asymptomatic. Most severe patients have increased leucorrhea, mild dysmenorrhea, endless menstruation, dull pain in the lower abdomen, abdominal distension and diarrhea, acute diarrhea, frequent urination and fever, lumbosacral pain and pain in the same room. Because of pelvic congestion, it may even lead to tubal adhesion and obstruction, leading to infertility, so people need to pay attention to it.

2. Endometriosis

Endometriosis is a pathological change caused by other parts outside the uterine cavity. Symptoms are periodic, and dysmenorrhea is the most common feature. The pain starts from 1~2 days before menstruation, which is the most serious on the first day of menstruation, and gradually relieves or even disappears after menstrual blood is clean. In addition, due to different ectopic sites, there will be pain in the same room, intestinal symptoms and urinary tract symptoms.

3. Psychological factors

Fear and nervousness caused by lack of correct understanding of menstruation aggravate dysmenorrhea.

4. Physiological factors

Excessive menstrual bleeding and the loss of blood calcium increase the demand for calcium in adolescent women, which leads to serious calcium deficiency and blood calcium reduction, which often causes muscle spasm and uterine wall contraction, thus causing pain.

5. Cold factors

If you catch cold because of cold weather or too few clothes, you will feel cold and evil. It leads to stagnation of qi and blood and obstruction of meridians, thus aggravating dysmenorrhea.

6. Fatigue factors

Excessive physical labor will aggravate bleeding and dysmenorrhea.

7. Dietary factors

Some girls like to eat snacks, and also eat cold drinks and pears during menstruation, which easily leads to stagnation of qi and blood. As Chinese medicine says, it will hurt if it doesn't work, which will naturally aggravate dysmenorrhea. The diet of dysmenorrhea patients should be warm and light, avoid acid and spicy, and pay attention to the collocation of meat and vegetables to prevent iron deficiency.

2, female dysmenorrhea is not edible.

1 salt

It is harmful for women to eat salty food before menstruation. Too salty food will increase the salt and water reserves in the body, thus causing headache, excitement and irritability before menstrual cramps. Therefore, in women's menstrual period, in addition to eating some foods that replenish blood and qi, the general diet is mainly light, so as not to cause imbalance in the concentration of acid, alkali and water in the internal environment and destroy the entire circulatory system.

2. Milk

Milk is rich in calcium, energy, protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins, iron, zinc and so on. However, these elements can easily react with magnesium, thus destroying the absorption of magnesium by human body. We should know that protein synthesis, nerve conduction, muscle contraction, thermoregulation, cell integrity maintenance and energy metabolism are all inseparable from magnesium. Magnesium deficiency during menstruation will aggravate the spasm of uterine neuromuscular, increase the pain of dysmenorrhea, and reduce human immunity.

3. Crab

Autumn and winter are the harvest season of crabs, and people are inevitably eager to eat a whole crab feast. However, women who happen to be during menstruation should pay attention to it. Crab is a cold food, which can clear away heat, cool blood and dissipate blood stasis. Because of this effect, eating crabs during menstruation will stimulate the sensory nerves from the abdomen to the uterus, leading to a sudden drop in body temperature. Without the support of temperature, menstrual blood can easily form blood clots, which will increase the contraction of uterus and make people with dysmenorrhea more painful.

4. strong tea

Tea not only has certain nutritional value, but also has the function of preventing and treating diseases. However, the special physiological factors of women during menstruation decide to avoid drinking strong tea. Because of the high caffeine content in strong tea, it stimulates the nervous and cardiovascular system, makes people excited, accelerates basal metabolism, and is prone to dysmenorrhea, prolonged menstrual period and excessive menstrual blood. At the same time, tannic acid in strong tea strongly combines with iron in food in the intestine, causing precipitation, thus hindering the absorption of iron and causing iron deficiency anemia.

5. Chocolate

Chocolate can make emotions out of control. Chocolate will cause more emotional instability and sugar addiction. In addition to gaining weight, it will also increase the demand for vitamin B. At the same time, sugar will consume vitamin B and minerals in the body, making people prefer to eat sugary foods.

3. How to regulate female dysmenorrhea?

First, exercise conditioning methods

1. Strengthen physical exercise: Especially those who are weak, while using diet to improve nutrition, they can do some light exercise, such as walking.

2.

2. Don't eat foods containing caffeine at ordinary times: because these foods will make you nervous and cause symptoms of menstrual discomfort, and the oil contained in coffee will also stimulate the small intestine.

3, milk and honey: drinking a cup of hot milk with a spoonful of honey before going to bed every night can alleviate or even eliminate the pain of dysmenorrhea, and the effect is excellent.

4, bananas: bananas contain vitamin B6, which can stabilize mood and relieve abdominal pain. Eat more when you have dysmenorrhea.

5, pay attention to taboos: try not to eat cold and spicy food such as ice cream, barbecue, pepper and so on. Before and after menstruation. "Dysmenorrhea can't be treated with western medicine. This depends on Chinese medicine, but also on the conditioning in life. Usually, you should avoid eating cold things, especially ice. Not to mention the physiological period, you can't touch cold water. Dysmenorrhea is mainly caused by cold, leading to blood stasis and irregular menstruation, so it is very painful. Pay attention to keep warm at ordinary times, eat less raw and cold food, and cook ginger and brown sugar water during menstruation. Introduce an effective one. During menstruation, the pain of heat and heat will soon be relieved. Stick to it a few more times and it will be completely good. "

Fourth, daily life conditioning methods

1, "Always keep warm and don't let your feet catch cold. Drink two cups of brown sugar water every day for four or five days before menstruation until the next day after menstruation. I believe that dysmenorrhea will be relieved a lot after three or four months, and I believe I am right. "

2. "In addition to seeking a doctor's diagnosis and treatment, patients with dysmenorrhea are also very important in self-regulation on weekdays.

In view of this, we must pay attention to regular life, moderate exercise, balanced nutrition, adequate sleep and happy mood in our daily life. That's easy to say, have you done it? "

Five, drug conditioning methods

Taking vitamin drugs: B vitamins, especially B6, have a significant effect on premenstrual tension, which can stabilize mood, help sleep and relieve abdominal pain. Of course, for girls who can't relieve dysmenorrhea, they should also go to gynecology in time.

2. Take painkillers appropriately: When menstrual pain begins, you can take a certain amount of painkillers, such as fenbid, atropine tablets and diazepam tablets. Effective painkillers will take effect immediately after 20-30 minutes and last for 12 hours without pain. However, taking painkillers for a long time is not the fundamental solution, which will lead people to rely on painkillers for many years. Therefore, if it is not necessary, try to use them as little as possible or not.

Six, massage conditioning method

"In addition to the above, massage can also relieve dysmenorrhea. Massage the back and waist first, then the abdomen, and then the lower limbs. Apply blood-activating liquid medicine (such as medicated oil and medicated wine) first, and then massage: 1.
