Women may experience dysmenorrhea during menstruation. Dysmenorrhea, also known as menstrual pain, is one of the most common gynecological diseases. Dysmenorrhea can be divided into primary and secondary dysmenorrhea. Primary dysmenorrhea is periodic menstrual pain without organic diseases, while secondary pain is often seen in endometriosis, fibroids, pelvic inflammatory diseases, adenomyosis, endometrial polyps, and menstrual outflow tract obstruction.
Secondary dysmenorrhea requires examination and treatment, while primary dysmenorrhea can be improved through dietary care measures.
Dietary health measures for women with dysmenorrhea
1. Diet is the best way to regulate women's menstrual cramps. The reason why women suffer from dysmenorrhea is due to poor blood gas circulation and loss of blood gas during and around the menstrual period, resulting in pain in the lower abdomen and lumbosacral region. Women with dysmenorrhea should adjust their diet and consume foods that promote blood circulation and Qi circulation, such as red dates, longans, goji berries, etc. It can dredge qi and blood, and eliminate symptoms of dysmenorrhea.
2. Women with dysmenorrhea symptoms should eat a light diet between 3 and 5 days before each menstrual period, try to consume easily digestible foods, and avoid consuming raw and cold foods. Eating raw and cold food can stimulate the uterus, causing the fallopian tubes to contract, which can easily cause symptoms of dysmenorrhea. To alleviate symptoms of dysmenorrhea, one can eat foods with a sour taste appropriately, and also pay attention to preventing constipation, which can increase pain.
3. During menstruation, women can eat foods such as honey, celery, sweet potatoes, bananas, etc. Women with symptoms of dysmenorrhea may as well drink some alcohol appropriately. The effect of alcohol can be used to dilate blood vessels, dredge blood, relax smooth muscles, and alleviate and prevent dysmenorrhea. Women with limited menstrual blood during menstruation can drink some wine appropriately to alleviate symptoms, and sometimes this method can also have therapeutic effects.
4. Women with dysmenorrhea should not only pay attention to their diet during menstruation, but also pay attention to their daily diet at all times and constantly recuperate their bodies. Don't have the bad habit of picky eating in your daily diet, try to eat a rich and diverse diet, and eat more food that can help the body promote blood circulation and regulate qi. Women with insufficient qi and blood should pay attention to supplementing qi and blood through diet, such as eating animal liver, ginger, carrots, etc.
