For a woman, Auntie is a familiar stranger. Although often "meeting," not everyone understands what is normal and what is important.

Menstrual conditions can to some extent reveal some of the health signals, is a "barometer" of the female body, can learn to observe, identify problems as soon as possible, be healthy woman.

First, dysmenorrhea

Dysmenorrhea is one of the common gynecological symptoms, refers to the occurrence of lower abdominal pain before and after menstruation, bulging, accompanied by backache or other discomfort, symptoms of serious impact on quality of life. Dysmenorrhea is divided into primary dysmenorrhea and secondary two categories, primary dysmenorrhea refers to reproductive organs without organic dysmenorrhea, accounting for more than 90% of dysmenorrhea; secondary dysmenorrhea refers to pelvic cavity disease caused by organic dysmenorrhea.

No cure for primary dysmenorrhea, in addition to adjusting the attitude, pay attention to rest can also do is painkillers. Can consider consulting doctors using ibuprofen and other painkillers or oral short-acting contraceptives, can effectively alleviate the symptoms.

However, if the dysmenorrhea is very severe, or even incapacitating, it may be "secondary dysmenorrhea", which means that dysmenorrhea is caused by other organic diseases, such as endometriosis and myometrial adenosis .

If you feel abnormal pain, you should go to the obstetrics and gynecology as soon as possible. Treatment is not simply to relieve pain, but to treat the primary disease.

Second, the form of menstrual blood

Menstrual blood is generally dark red, non-coagulation, cervical mucus and vaginal epithelial cells. If the menstrual blood was bright red or dark red, slightly reddish brown during the last few days of menstruation, in general it is normal, no problem.

Clotted blood clot

Many women have observed that the menstrual blood is sometimes viscous or blood clots, the color may be bright red, it may be dark red, black.

This situation usually occurs in the most menstrual days that few days. In the menstrual period, the body will release anticoagulant substances, in order to menstrual smooth discharge. When the amount of large, anticoagulant substances do not have enough time to "work", there may be blood clots, the color feels darker. In general, these are normal, not "qi stagnation" and do not need additional conditioning.

In the proliferative phase of endometrium, estrogen levels in the body can make the endometrial thickening. However, if endocrine disorders, estrogen levels are too high, it may over-stimulate the endometrium, leading to endometrial polyps. Some gynecological inflammation can also cause this problem.
