Patient's question:
I recently experience abdominal pain during my period, and sometimes my breasts also feel sore. They feel like they're full to the brim.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the abdominal pain during menstruation is called dysmenorrhea, just with varying degrees. Most girls experience it, reflecting unhealthy conditions in the body. It is mainly due to insufficient qi and blood flow, and poor blood circulation. During menstruation, blood pressure drops, and abdominal blood vessels contract, similar to cramps, which is the body's natural protective response.Therefore, to improve it, you need to address the root cause. If the methods are appropriate, there can be no abnormalities at all, and it will be just like normal. Use this standard to measure whether these methods are effective:
1. Supplement with enough calcium daily, about 800 milligrams. Calcium can calm and regulate;
2. Build blood and maintain normal blood pressure. Anemic individuals can supplement with iron, high-quality protein, and folic acid;
3. If there is excessive stagnant blood, you can promote blood circulation. Here’s a simple, fast, and effective method: chop ginger with the skin on, stir-fry in peanut oil, pour in beaten eggs, add water, add a spoonful of brown sugar, and boil. Drink the broth.
Additionally, during menstruation, pay attention to the following:
1. Avoid frozen foods and drinks, as they can exacerbate uterine blood vessel contraction and dysmenorrhea;
2. Do not wash your hair at night. Wash it at a hair salon and dry your hair immediately;
3. Drink more hot porridge to replenish energy.
