Second, diet prevention and treatment of dysmenorrhea
Women have pain in the lower abdomen and lumbosacral region before and after menstruation or during menstruation. Severe cases have severe abdominal pain, pale face, cold hands and feet, and even syncope, which is called dysmenorrhea, also known as menstrual abdominal pain. Pain often lasts for several hours or 1-2 days. Generally, abdominal pain is relieved after the blood is unblocked. This disease is more common in young women and is one of the common female diseases.
Chinese medicine believes that dysmenorrhea is mostly caused by poor qi and blood circulation or insufficient qi and blood. Clinically, qi stagnation and blood stasis, uterine cold coagulation, qi and blood weakness, damp-heat downward flow and other syndromes are common. Dietotherapy can play a very good role in prevention and treatment.
Patients with dysmenorrhea are mainly light and easy to digest within 3-5 days before menstrual cramps, and can't overeat. In particular, they should avoid eating cold, indigestible and irritating foods, such as pepper, raw onion, raw garlic, pepper and strong liquor. These foods will stimulate the contraction of uterus and fallopian tubes. Thereby inducing or aggravating dysmenorrhea. Patients with dysmenorrhea should have diversified diets, not partial eclipse, and often eat some vegetables and fruits with the functions of regulating qi and promoting blood circulation, such as shepherd's purse, orchid root, coriander, carrot, orange, bergamot and ginger. People with weak constitution and lack of qi and blood should often eat foods that tonify qi, blood and liver and kidney, such as chicken, duck, fish, eggs, milk, animal liver and kidney, fish and beans. And you can eat some sour food, such as sauerkraut, vinegar, etc., which can relieve the pain.
In addition, people with dysmenorrhea should eat more honey, bananas, celery and sweet potatoes. Keep the stool unobstructed before or after menstruation, because constipation will induce dysmenorrhea and aggravate the pain.
Recently, new research shows that. Drinking a little wine in moderation can dredge meridians, dilate blood vessels, relax smooth muscles and contribute to the prevention and treatment of dysmenorrhea. If the amount of menstruation is not much, you can drink some wine in moderation, which can alleviate the symptoms and play a certain therapeutic role.

Third, diet prevention and treatment of amenorrhea
As the name implies, amenorrhea means that menstruation has stopped. So, how long is amenorrhea? There are the following medical regulations:
18-year-old girls have never had menstruation, which is called primary amenorrhea. 16-year-old girls have never had menstruation and have no female characteristics (such as breast enlargement and pubic hair or armpit hair), which is also called primary amenorrhea. Once had menstruation, and then no menstruation for more than 3 months, called secondary amenorrhea.
Whether it is primary amenorrhea or secondary amenorrhea, it is an abnormal phenomenon, which needs to be found out and treated. Of course, before determining amenorrhea, we must first rule out the possibility of pregnancy.
Chinese medicine believes that amenorrhea is caused by deficiency of liver and kidney, deficiency of qi and blood and obstruction of blood vessels. Amenorrhea can be divided into deficiency and excess. Deficiency is mostly caused by deficiency of qi and blood and kidney deficiency, while excess is mostly caused by cold coagulation, qi stagnation and blood stasis. In treatment, those who are deficient in qi and blood should supplement qi and blood; Because of kidney deficiency, it is necessary to make up the next yuan; Because of cold coagulation, it is necessary to warm the meridians to dispel the cold; Because of qi stagnation, it is necessary to soothe the liver and regulate qi; Because of blood stasis, it is necessary to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. According to the above different symptoms, people with weak constitution should eat more nourishing foods, such as eggs and milk. Jujube, longan, walnut, mutton, etc. : amenorrhea caused by qi stagnation and blood stasis can be eaten more, such as ginger, jujube and brown sugar. Brown sugar can be decocted with water instead of tea, or safflower wine can be taken orally. For amenorrhea caused by extreme emaciation, special attention should be paid to changing eating habits, eliminating the psychology of refusing to eat, strengthening the comprehensive supply of nutrition, improving the nutritional status of the body and restoring it to normal state.
In a word, comprehensive and reasonable nutrition can promote the physical and physiological development of adolescent women, enhance their physique and play a positive role in the prevention and treatment of amenorrhea.
