Female dysmenorrhea is usually divided into two categories: one is functional, that is, there is no organic lesion, which is called physiological dysmenorrhea; There is also pathological dysmenorrhea, that is, there are organic lesions in the uterus or pelvic cavity.

Physiological dysmenorrhea usually occurs in young women who have no sexual life, abortion or other intrauterine surgery. Dysmenorrhea in this case is explained by local prostaglandin secretion from the perspective of western medicine, which leads to dysmenorrhea caused by uterine contraction. In this case, it is necessary to exclude organic lesions and make necessary examinations. If there is no organic disease, drink ginger brown sugar water, use a warm water bag to make room in the local lower abdomen, and give painkillers appropriately, such as painkillers and ibuprofen. Traditional Chinese medicines can be used to promote qi and blood circulation, such as Taohong Siwu Decoction and Aifu Nuangong Pill.

Another main type of dysmenorrhea is organic disease, the most common of which is endometriosis or adenomyosis, which is the main cause of dysmenorrhea. It is recommended that women with dysmenorrhea go to the hospital for examination. The cause of dysmenorrhea can be basically determined by gynecological internal medicine diagnosis or B-ultrasound and blood test CA 125, and then symptomatic treatment can be made.
