Periodic pain in the abdomen or lower back, even to the lumbosacral region, before and after menstruation or during menstruation, which affects daily life and work, is called "dysmenorrhea".

Dysmenorrhea is divided into primary and secondary dysmenorrhea. Primary dysmenorrhea is also called "functional dysmenorrhea". This type of dysmenorrhea has no organic lesions in the reproductive organs and occurs in young unmarried women shortly after menarche. Secondary dysmenorrhea is mostly due to organic lesions in the pelvis, such as endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease or cervical stenosis, and is common in young women.
Modern medical research believes that the occurrence of primary dysmenorrhea is mainly related to endometrial tubular shedding (membranous dysmenorrhea), uterine dysplasia, uterine flexion and increased prostaglandin content in blood, in addition to physical and mental factors. Secondary dysmenorrhea is mostly caused by diseases that cause patients to suffer from qi stagnation and blood stasis, cold and dampness stagnation, qi and blood weakness, and liver and kidney deficiency.
