Dysmenorrhea, many women suffer from the torment of dysmenorrhea, eating a lot of medicine, almost no effect, today I will introduce a traditional Chinese diet therapy, you can give it a try!
Causes of dysmenorrhea in women
1. Physiological reasons
Women, after ovulation each month, under the stimulation of progesterone, the prostaglandins in the uterine endometrium will increase, causing excessive uterine contractions, which may lead to uterine spasm, causing local ischemia and hypoxia in the uterus, and ultimately causing dysmenorrhea.
2. Psychological reasons
Some women, when their menstrual period is approaching, always feel a sense of fear and tension. They feel dull and listless during their menstrual period. This psychological state can also hinder smooth menstrual flow and lead to dysmenorrhea.
3. Gynecological diseases
If women suffer from some gynecological diseases, such as endometriosis, cervicitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, etc., these diseases can also hinder the smooth discharge of menstrual blood, leading to dysmenorrhea.
4. Cold during menstruation
During menstruation, if women frequently consume cold drinks, wash with cold water, and do not pay attention to adding clothing, it is easy to cause uterine coldness, and uterine coldness can easily induce dysmenorrhea. Prolonged uterine coldness may also lead to infertility.
5. Genetic factors
If you have dysmenorrhea, you can ask your mother if she has a history of dysmenorrhea. Generally, if the mother has a history of dysmenorrhea, the daughter is likely to have it too.
Diet therapy: Motherwort and Egg Soup for treating dysmenorrhea
Wash the motherwort and cut it with a knife. After draining the water, put it in a muslin bag.
After washing the eggs, just crack a small opening and put them in a pot, no need to twist them into a spiral shape.
You can also use 5 quail eggs instead of chicken eggs. Add two bowls of water and boil until it becomes one bowl, and it is best to drink it while it is hot.
Things to note during menstruation
1. Avoid alcohol
Hormone levels in women fluctuate greatly during menstruation.
If you drink alcohol at this time, you will be more prone to drunkenness than usual, and the burden on the liver from alcohol will be further increased. Therefore, it is recommended that women try to drink less alcohol during their menstrual period.
2. Avoid singing loudly
During menstruation, the capillaries in the vocal cords and nasal mucosa of women will experience a certain degree of congestion and edema.
If you speak or sing incorrectly during this time, the capillaries in the throat of women may rupture, causing temporary "voice loss".
3. Avoid blood-activating and stasis-removing drugs
During menstruation, blood-activating and stasis-removing drugs and supplements should be discontinued.
However, many women do not do this and find that their menstrual flow suddenly increases, and it may even lead to severe anemia or excessive bleeding during menstruation.
Recommended foods during menstruation
During menstruation, you should consume some foods that are beneficial for menstrual flow, such as red dates, tofu skin, apples, lamb, chicken, coix seed, milk, brown sugar, motherwort, angelica, longan, and other foods that nourish and warm the body.
If women experience poor appetite, back pain, and other symptoms during menstruation, they should eat more nutritious, spleen-tonifying, appetizing, and easily digestible foods, such as noodles, dates, and coix seed porridge.
