The emergence of physiological pain causes special pain for many women. After experiencing physical pain, we must immediately cook reasonably, not only paying attention to medication treatment, but also paying attention to the cooking of life and diet.
What medication to take for dysmenorrhea
1. Ovulation suppressants: Inhibit the hypothalamic pituitary ovarian axis, inhibit ovulation, inhibit endometrial growth, reduce levels of prostaglandins and vasopressin, and alleviate dysmenorrhea. The efficacy of oral contraceptives can reach over 90%. Mainly suitable for patients who require contraception.
2. Drugs that inhibit uterine contractions
① Prostaglandin synthase inhibitor: By inhibiting the activity of prostaglandin synthase, it reduces prostaglandin production, prevents excessive uterine contractions and spasms, and thus reduces or eliminates dysmenorrhea. The treatment efficiency of this drug can reach 80%. Taking medication immediately after menstruation is effective, lasting for 2-3 days. Commonly used drugs include ibuprofen, ketoprofen, meclofenac acid, diclofenac acid, meclofenac acid, and naproxen. Ibuprofen 200-400mg, 3-4 times daily; Or ketoprofen 50mg, 3 times daily.
② Calcium antagonist: interferes with the passage of calcium ions through the cell membrane, prevents the release of calcium ions from the cell, reduces the concentration of calcium ions around uterine muscle cells, and weakens uterine contractions. Regularly use 10mg of nifedipine three times a day, with clothing under the tongue during pain. The main side effects are decreased blood pressure, tachycardia, vasodilatory headache, and facial redness.
Dysmenorrhea cooking
1. Pay attention to insulation. Most female friends with dysmenorrhea have a cold uterus, so special attention should be paid to keeping warm during normal times. When sitting in an air-conditioned room in summer, wear a long sleeved coat to protect your body from the cold.
2. Eat less raw and cold food. Just like the stomach and intestines being afraid of cold, frequent consumption of cold drinks can also cause harm to the uterus. Therefore, never crave ice cream or ice drinks. Foods with cold nature, such as bitter gourds, watermelons, purslane, etc., can reduce heat and detoxify for those with symptoms of fever. However, for female friends before and after menstruation, they should be consumed as little as possible during this special period to avoid menstrual blood accumulation in the body and causing unbearable pain.
3. Eat more warm foods. The most commonly used method is to drink brown sugar ginger tea before and after the physiological day. After drinking, not only is the whole body comfortable, but the uterus is also warm, which helps to smooth menstrual flow.
4. Pay attention to nourishing blood. The loss of menstrual blood causes anemia in some women, with iron deficiency anemia being the most common. Therefore, before the tide comes, eat more foods rich in iron, such as animal liver, cherries, and oysters. Iron is the main component of human hemoglobin. Supplementing an appropriate amount of iron helps promote blood production and avoid symptoms of anemia during menstruation.
