Dysmenorrhea, one of the most common gynecological symptoms, can be said to be a nightmare for many women and a minefield for men.
Some netizens described the experience of dysmenorrhea as follows:
It’s like having a hand in your womb and tearing at it crazily while still holding electricity.
As if in the performance of uterus broken stone, a sledgehammer wheel hammer after hammer, there is no strength to fight back.
It feels like there is a washing machine in my stomach, which has turned on the dehydration mode, stirring, twisting and lasting.
Dysmenorrhea is how to return a responsibility?
The answer may sound irritating, most dysmenorrhea is just [pain]!
Because more than 90% of dysmenorrhea cannot find out the organic pathological changes of what, that is to say, all organs of the reproductive system are normal in structure and function, which we call primary dysmenorrhea. In this case, the problem of dysmenorrhea is only pain.
Pain is a kind of self-protection mechanism. When you feel pain, the body is actually reminding you that a certain part of the body may be being hurt and you need to do something.
However, dysmenorrhea is different. It is caused by severe contraction of uterine smooth muscle, which compresses blood vessels in the uterus and causes pain due to short-term ischemia. Only a small part of dysmenorrhea is caused by pathological changes in pelvic organs.
Therefore, most dysmenorrhea is actually just pain, and its effect of reminding the body to pay attention is not great. You have no what other problems except dysmenorrhea.
So, the problem is, what should I do with dysmenorrhea?
For straight men, this is simply a word [sending proposition]. A word [drinking more hot water] will only make your object want to get up and beat you with pain.
So what are the reliable methods?

To deal with dysmenorrhea, these 3 suggestions can help you
Since most dysmenorrhea is only a pain problem, it also determines that we can only carry out symptomatic treatment for pain, that is to say, relieve pain.
Step 1 Hot Compress
UpToDate, the most authoritative clinical medical decision support system, evaluated the effectiveness of various nursing methods other than drug therapy, including yoga exercise, drinking milk, drinking ginger water and other methods, and concluded that hot compress is the most effective, and its effect is even comparable to that of painkillers.
For male compatriots, hot compress is simply [giving sub-questions]. The next time your girlfriend or wife has dysmenorrhea, fill her with a hot water bag in person.
Step 2 Take painkillers
If you don’t think hot compress is useful, you can also try a simple and crude method-taking painkillers.
Aspirin, ibuprofen and the like will do. When it hurts or feels painful, take one tablet. The effect is really good.
Many people are afraid of taking painkillers and feel that the side effects are large. This is to be frightened by the side effects of drugs, only staring at the bad side, but ignoring its actual help.
In fact, the side effects of these painkillers are not big, the common ones are gastrointestinal symptoms, and usually one menstruation is taken up to three days before, sometimes one day is enough, and the side effects have not yet been manifested!
Of course, it should also be reminded that women with gastric ulcer or asthma should not use painkillers, which have an impact on these two diseases.
Step 3: Take short-acting contraceptives
In fact, in foreign countries, many women with dysmenorrhea take short-acting contraceptives to treat dysmenorrhea.
Short-acting contraceptives are those that are taken one tablet a day for 21 consecutive days. Note that they are not emergency contraceptives afterwards!
For women who suffer from dysmenorrhea and have contraceptive requirements, it can be said that they kill two birds with one stone and the effect is very good.
Perhaps some people will worry about the side effects of short-acting contraceptives and gain weight due to hormones? Growing pimples?
In fact, you don’t have to struggle with these problems, because the hormone types and doses of short-acting contraceptives are strictly controlled and conform to the standards. From the point of view of thousands of users, they are basically safe.
In addition, a large number of studies have shown that short-acting contraceptives are not associated with weight gain.
As for the worry about acne, that is even more nonsense. Not only will short-acting contraceptives not make you suffer from acne, on the contrary, short-acting contraceptives can effectively treat acne. Those women who are experiencing dysmenorrhea and acne, really might as well give it a try.
Finally, I would like to remind the girls that the above are all treatments for primary dysmenorrhea, that is to say, there are no organic diseases.
Therefore, before handling it yourself, it is best to go to the hospital for examination, eliminate organic diseases, and see if you really have primary dysmenorrhea.
