What should I do if a girl comes to visit her aunt and her stomach hurts?

Girls with stomachache can be relieved by applying hot compresses to the abdomen, drinking an appropriate amount of brown sugar ginger tea, taking ibuprofen sustained-release capsules as directed by the doctor, adjusting resting postures, and proper massage. Dysmenorrhea may be related to factors such as excessive prostaglandin secretion, abnormal uterine contractions, cold, emotional stress, endometriosis and other factors.

1. Apply heat to the abdomen

Use a hot water bottle or baby warmer to apply it on the lower abdomen, and control the temperature at 40-50 degrees Celsius for 15-30 minutes each time. Hot compress can promote pelvic blood circulation, relieve uterine smooth muscle spasm, and has a better effect on primary dysmenorrhea. Be careful to avoid scalding the skin, and diabetics need to carefully control the temperature.

2. Brown sugar ginger tea

Take 15 grams of brown sugar and 3 slices of ginger, brew it with boiling water, and drink it 1-2 times a day. The gingerols in ginger have anti-inflammatory effects, and brown sugar can replenish energy, but diabetics should reduce sugar intake. The temperature should not be too high when drinking to avoid irritating the gastrointestinal mucosa.

3. Ibuprofen sustained-release capsules

It is suitable for moderate to severe dysmenorrhea and can inhibit prostaglandin synthesis. Common adverse reactions include gastrointestinal discomfort, and it is contraindicated in patients with gastric ulcers. Medications should be administered 6-8 hours apart and should not be used continuously for more than 3 days. If the pain is not relieved, you should seek medical attention to check for secondary dysmenorrhea.

4. Knee-chest lying position

Take a kneeling position and lie prone, with your chest against the bed and your buttocks elevated for 15 minutes. This position can reduce menstrual blood stasis caused by the retroversion of the uterus, and is suitable for those with obvious lumbosacral swelling during menstruation. Movements need to be gentle to avoid dizziness caused by sudden changes in body position.

5. Sanyinjiao massage

Use the pad of your thumb to press the Sanyinjiao point 3 inches above the tip of the medial malleolus, and rub it clockwise for 5 minutes. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that this acupoint can regulate the Chong and Ren meridians and improve the flow of qi and blood. Trim your nails before massaging. The strength should be enough to make you feel sore and swollen. Do not operate on damaged skin.

During menstruation, you should keep your abdomen warm and avoid strenuous exercise and cold water stimulation. Choose warm porridge, stew and other easily digestible foods for your diet, and limit the intake of caffeine and raw and cold foods. Record the duration and degree of each dysmenorrhea. If non-menstrual pain, sudden increase in menstrual flow or cycle disorder occurs, timely gynecological consultation is required to check for organic diseases such as adenomyosis. You can strengthen your pelvic floor muscles through daily aerobic exercise, but it is recommended to replace high-intensity training with walking two days before your period.
