What are the contraindications of taking Chinese medicine for dysmenorrhea?

I believe that women always feel uncomfortable for a few days every month, especially when they are at work, they will feel distracted, accompanied by lower abdominal pain, cold limbs, and fatigue. If the pain is severe, they can only stay in bed, which greatly reduces their work efficiency. So what are the taboos of taking Chinese medicine for dysmenorrhea? In order to help you better, please discuss with me in the next time.

While taking Chinese medicine, you should avoid eating raw, cold, sour, and astringent foods. It should be noted that raw is a broad term, including fruits, which should also be avoided, especially very cold foods such as watermelon. Cold dishes are also not allowed, especially cucumbers. Astringency is also a kind of taste, such as tea, coffee, olives, etc. During menstruation, you should also pay attention to avoiding eating cold, spicy, and cool foods. Cool mainly refers to cool foods. In addition to watermelon and cucumber, generally heard of cool foods such as yacon and kiwi are all avoided. I hope this helps.

1. When choosing traditional Chinese medicine to treat dysmenorrhea, you need to start taking the medicine one week before your period. This will help to fully utilize the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine and improve the treatment effect. Therefore, patients who choose to take Chinese medicine to treat dysmenorrhea are advised to go to the hospital to see a doctor 7 to 8 days after the menstruation. Traditional Chinese medicine says "treat the symptoms in an emergency and treat the root cause in a non-invasive manner". If dysmenorrhea has already occurred and Chinese medicine cannot relieve the pain immediately, in addition to using painkillers, you can choose acupuncture or Chinese medicine patches for treatment.

2. The therapeutic effect of Chinese herbal decoctions is better than that of Chinese patent medicines. Because Chinese herbal decoctions are prescribed by doctors based on the patient's specific condition, and the prescription can be adjusted at any time according to the patient's condition, the medication is highly targeted.

I believe that through the above discussion, most of the friends have a deeper understanding of some of the taboos of taking Chinese medicine for dysmenorrhea. Of course, I would like to remind everyone that women's overall physical condition is relatively weak during menstruation, so they must pay attention to keeping warm. If they catch a cold, it is very easy to cause uterine cold. At the same time, they should also eat more foods that are high in iron.
