Dysmenorrhea can be categorized into primary dysmenorrhea and secondary dysmenorrhea, which can be relieved by life interventions, medications, and surgical treatments.
Primary dysmenorrhea is caused by increased prostaglandin synthesis in the endometrium without organic pathology. Symptoms can be improved by taking more rest, warm compresses on the abdomen with a warm water bottle, etc. Symptoms can also be relieved by oral medications such as ibuprofen and diclofenac. Severe cases can be treated with surgery such as presacral ganglionectomy and partial hysterectomy.
Secondary dysmenorrhea is related to organic diseases such as endometriosis and adenomyosis. Oral medications such as ibuprofen and diclofenac are taken to relieve abdominal pain on the basis of active management of the primary disease.
When dysmenorrhea occurs that life intervention is ineffective, it is necessary to go to the hospital in time to improve the relevant examination, clarify the cause of the disease under the guidance of the doctor, and actively target treatment to avoid unauthorized use of medication or treatment.
