　　female Dysmenorrhea No diagnostic criteria yet

　　according to media According to reports, the Legislative Affairs Office of the State Council is organizing a revision of the "Regulations on Labor Protection of Female Employees." The draft stipulates that female employees shall not be required to engage in labor at high altitudes, low temperatures, third-level physical labor intensity, and other taboo labor during menstruation. Experts from Capital Medical University also specifically proposed that female employees who are unable to work normally due to dysmenorrhea and have a doctor's certificate should take one to two days of sick leave and their wages should be retained.

　　Women at National Population and Family Planning Commission Research Institute clinical Professor Wu Shangchun, director of the research office, said that sick leave notes have been issued to patients whose normal work was affected by dysmenorrhea, but this was mainly based on the patient's chief complaint. There is currently no unified clinical diagnostic standard. However, particularly serious symptoms can be detected visually, such as pale complexion and cold sweats.

　　Dysmenorrhea in women may be disease Signal

　　Gynecology Disease experts point out that dysmenorrhea is mainly divided into primary and secondary types, and the latter may be a manifestation of certain diseases. However, slight lower abdominal distension or transient mild pain during menstruation are not included. Dysmenorrhea mainly refers to unbearable pain in the lower abdomen. In severe cases, it may be accompanied by nausea and vomiting, cold sweats, and even the need for painkillers to relieve it.

　　Almost half of all dysmenorrhea cases are primary, that is, pain that begins at menarche in their teens, and the patients are usually younger. This is mainly because women’s Uterus The endometrium produces prostaglandins, which help the uterine muscles contract during menstruation and promote the discharge of tissue and blood. If the concentration of prostaglandins is high, it will cause severe uterine contraction, even spasm, resulting in dysmenorrhea. Others are caused by large cervical curvature, abnormal position or cervical stenosis.

　　Secondary dysmenorrhea is pain that occurs gradually the day after menarche without pain during menarche. Patients are generally over 25 years old and may be caused by lesions of the reproductive organs, such as endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease , adenomyosis, uterine fibroids, etc., must not be ignored.

　　Gynecological disease expert: Dysmenorrhea must be treated symptomatically

　　However, even primary dysmenorrhea is not an "inevitable phenomenon" that should be tolerated during the menstrual period. It also indicates disharmony in a certain part of the body. Experts point out that when facing dysmenorrhea, you must not "bear it".

　　Primary dysmenorrhea is mostly caused by eating cold and spicy food, catching cold, or emotional stress. It is recommended to strengthen the body, regulate endocrine, and improve living habits to relieve it naturally. However, be careful not to take drugs at will. For primary dysmenorrhea caused by poor uterine position and narrow cervical opening, some patients can get better after giving birth.

　　For secondary dysmenorrhea caused by disease, especially when the pain persists for a long time and is unbearable, it is recommended to seek medical treatment in time, find out the cause, and treat symptomatically, not to mention taking drugs indiscriminately. For example, endometriosis is the main disease that causes severe dysmenorrhea, many of which require surgery; there is also pelvic inflammatory disease, which should be treated with anti-inflammatory treatments; severe dysmenorrhea with unknown causes needs to be relieved with appropriate drugs.

　　Experts on gynecological diseases also remind that many people have aggravated dysmenorrhea due to stagnation of cold and dampness. They must pay attention to keeping warm during menstruation and do not wear thin clothes for the sake of beauty.
