Doctor's answer:

Hello. Dysmenorrhea is caused by the synthesis of prostaglandins in the endometrium, which leads to strong contractions of the uterus. Generally, mild cases can be relieved by keeping warm, avoiding spicy and cold foods, and other measures. If the pain is severe and cannot be relieved, pathological factors should not be ruled out, such as: uterine fibroids, adenomyosis, endometriosis, and pelvic inflammatory disease, all of which may worsen dysmenorrhea. It is recommended that you visit a gynecological department in the hospital for relevant examinations to identify and treat the condition accordingly. In terms of treatment, it is advisable to use Yuanhu Zhitong Pian or Dysmenorrhea Pills for better results. Avoid raw and cold foods and greasy foods, maintain a calm mood, avoid irritability and restlessness, and actively exercise to enhance your body's resistance.
