Recently, the topic of "dysmenorrhea leave" has attracted attention. As a problem that plagues many girls, can "drinking more hot water" relieve dysmenorrhea? Qu Hairong, deputy director of gynaecology department of Yinchuan Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital, was interviewed by the reporter of China News Network recently and gave an answer.
Qu Hairong said that in medicine, dysmenorrhea is mainly divided into primary and secondary. "Generally speaking, primary dysmenorrhea is mainly related to the increase of prostaglandin content in the endometrium during menstruation. Everyone has different levels of prostaglandin content and sensitivity to pain, so there are different degrees of dysmenorrhea." Qu Hairong said, secondary dysmenorrhea is related to some diseases, "For example, the most common gynecological disease is adenomyosis, which can cause very serious and increasingly obvious dysmenorrhea."
When many women suffer from dysmenorrhea, their partners will pour a cup of hot water for each other to drink. So, can "drinking more hot water" relieve dysmenorrhea? Qu Hairong said that drinking hot water can promote blood circulation to a certain extent and will help dysmenorrhea a little. "Mild dysmenorrhea can be relieved by drinking hot water and applying hot water bags."
Qu Hairong said that for dysmenorrhea, women should first try to relieve themselves emotionally and distract their attention from pain; During menstrual period, women should ensure enough rest and sleep. They can exercise properly and regularly at ordinary times, promote blood circulation, and also help relieve dysmenorrhea.
