Patient's question:
I heard that after marriage it won't happen anymore. Is it that menstrual cramps won't occur after sexual intercourse?Doctor's answer:
Hello, there are basically no good treatments for primary dysmenorrhea. During menstrual cramps, you can use a hot water bag to apply to the lower abdomen to promote blood circulation and reduce pain; you can also drink some brown sugar ginger tea to accelerate the flow of menstrual blood and alleviate pain. If the pain is unbearable, you can take pain relievers such as ibuprofen, indomethacin, or 654-2. Sexual activity does not necessarily improve dysmenorrhea; it may only change after vaginal delivery when the cervix opens and menstrual blood flows smoothly. Dysmenorrhea is caused by the secretion of pain-inducing substances during the menstrual period. According to traditional Chinese medicine theory, the pain is caused by the blockage of menstrual blood flow when it first starts. Generally, it can only be treated symptomatically, and other treatments can only rely on future childbirth, where dysmenorrhea may disappear.
