Premenstrual abdominal pain

Before menstruation, many women will experience some physiological reactions, such as lower abdominal pain before menstruation, which is quite common. This reaction is a symptom of premenstrual syndrome, and premenstrual syndrome needs to be treated in time because it not only affects women's health but also their spirit. Of course, PMS can also be prevented. Next, I will introduce you to the relevant knowledge about premenstrual syndrome!

1. Diagnosis

Premenstrual syndrome has no specific symptoms for diagnosis and no special laboratory diagnostic indicators. The essential elements of diagnosis are determining the severity of premenstrual symptoms and their relief after menstruation. Symptoms that do not occur before your period are not considered PMS. The diagnosis is based on typical symptoms that occur periodically during the premenstrual period. However, it needs to be differentiated from edema caused by mild mental illness and heart, liver, kidney and other diseases.

II. Treatment

1. Psychiatric treatment

First of all, psychological comfort and guidance should be provided to help patients adjust their mental state, understand the disease, build up courage and self-confidence, relax their spirits and regain control of their lives.

2. Diet

A poor diet can aggravate PMS symptoms. Eating a high-carbohydrate and low-protein diet, limiting salt and coffee, and supplementing with vitamins and trace elements during premenstrual symptoms can help improve PMS symptoms.

3. Drug treatment

Drug therapy is suitable for patients who do not respond to general treatment. Such as sex hormones, antidepressants, anti-anxiety drugs, bromocriptine, vitamin B6, spironolactone, etc.

4. Surgical treatment

It is suitable for older women who have not responded to drug treatment. Surgery or radiotherapy is used to eliminate ovarian function and cause artificial menopause. This approach can successfully treat persistent PMS, but it should be used as a last resort. [1]

3. Preventive measures

1. Strengthen the study of physiological and hygienic knowledge about menstruation, and fully understand that menstruation is the result of the normal exfoliation of the endometrium. The repair function of the functional layer of the endometrium is good, and it will grow, develop, mature and exfoliate according to the monthly rules. There is no need to worry about health problems.

2. Premenstrual syndrome is related to tension, so you must try your best to eliminate tension and avoid the occurrence of premenstrual syndrome.

3. If any abnormal physical, mental or behavioral changes occur before menstruation, you should analyze the causes. There is no need to think about menstruation or force it. This way, you will not associate accidental events with the inevitability of monthly menstruation.

4. For those with some special physical conditions, if premenstrual syndrome occurs, they should do corresponding training before menstruation, such as jogging, playing badminton and tennis, so that energy and physical strength can be naturally consumed and not concentrated on premenstrual syndrome, so as to prevent the occurrence of this syndrome.

5. If necessary, you can take small doses of medication for prevention under the guidance of a doctor.
