What to do with abdominal pain before menstruation

Many women experience lower abdominal pain or stuffy pain a few days before their period. In severe cases, they may also experience fainting, general fatigue, etc. So what should you do if you have abdominal pain before your period? How can I relieve the bloating and pain? Let me introduce to you in detail how to relieve abdominal distension and pain before menstruation;

1. The phenomenon of severe lower abdominal pain during menstruation that disappears naturally after menstruation is called dysmenorrhea. Most dysmenorrhea occurs during menstruation, and for some people it occurs a few days before menstruation. The abdominal pain worsens after menstruation, but everything is normal after menstruation.

2. The characteristics of abdominal pain are closely related to menstruation. Abdominal pain will not occur if menstruation does not come. Therefore, abdominal pain that is not related to menstruation is not dysmenorrhea. Dysmenorrhea can be divided into primary dysmenorrhea and secondary dysmenorrhea. Primary dysmenorrhea refers to abdominal pain that occurs from the beginning of menstruation, while secondary dysmenorrhea refers to abdominal pain during menstruation that occurs several years or even more than ten years after menstruation. The causes of the two types of dysmenorrhea are different.

3. The causes of primary dysmenorrhea are narrow uterine opening, uterine hypoplasia or large pieces of endometrium in menstrual blood. The latter condition is called membranous dysmenorrhea. Sometimes menstrual blood contains blood clots, which can also cause lower abdominal pain. The causes of secondary dysmenorrhea are mostly caused by diseases, such as endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, pelvic congestion, etc.

4. In recent years, it has been found that when the synthesis of prostaglandins in the endometrium increases, it can also cause dysmenorrhea. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the cause of dysmenorrhea through examination and then treat it accordingly. 2. Dietary adjustment for dysmenorrhea Women experience pain in the lower abdomen and lumbosacral area before, during, or after menstruation. In severe cases, the pain is severe, the face becomes pale, the hands and feet become cold, and there is even fainting. This is called "dysmenorrhea" or "abdominal pain during menstruation."

5. Diet therapy can play a good preventive and therapeutic role. Patients with dysmenorrhea should eat light and easily digestible food within 3-5 days before menstruation.

6. You should eat food that is easy to digest and absorb, and you should not eat too much. In particular, you should avoid eating raw and cold foods, because raw and cold foods can stimulate the contraction of the uterus and fallopian tubes, thereby inducing or aggravating dysmenorrhea.

7. Once menstruation has started, you should avoid all raw, cold, indigestible and irritating foods, such as chili peppers, raw onions, raw garlic, pepper, strong liquor, etc. During this period, patients can eat some sour foods, such as pickled vegetables, vinegar, etc. Sour foods can relieve pain.
