Introduction
"Aunt" usually refers to menstruation. Abdominal pain generally indicates stomachache. Women may experience abdominal pain during menstruation due to improper diet, cold exposure, abnormal uterine contractions, dysmenorrhea, or endometriosis. This can be relieved by adjusting the diet, applying a warm towel compress, relaxing the mind, or using medications. Consuming large amounts of spicy or cold foods during menstruation might continuously irritate the gastrointestinal tract, leading to abdominal pain.

Menstruation generally refers to a menstrual period, and "stomach pain" usually means abdominal pain. Female abdominal pain during menstruation may be caused by improper diet, cold exposure, abnormal uterine contractions, dysmenorrhea, or endometriosis. The discomfort can be relieved through dietary adjustments, warm compresses, relaxation techniques, or medication. Detailed explanations are as follows:

1. Improper diet: Consuming large amounts of spicy, cold, or irritating foods during menstruation may continuously stimulate the gastrointestinal tract, causing abdominal pain. It is recommended to adjust the diet promptly, maintain a light diet, and consume foods such as bananas, Chinese cabbage, and rice porridge.

2. Cold exposure: If a woman fails to keep warm during her menstrual period, her abdomen may get chilled. The cold air may stimulate the abdomen and cause pain. It is recommended to apply a warm towel compress to the abdomen to improve blood circulation and alleviate the pain.

3. Abnormal uterine contractions: If the uterus contracts too strongly or in an uncoordinated manner during menstruation, it may lead to ischemia and hypoxia in the uterus, causing pain. It is recommended to relax, appropriately relieve stress, and distract attention through activities such as listening to music or watching movies.

4. Dysmenorrhea: A female's physical constitution, lifestyle habits, and other factors may lead to dysmenorrhea during menstruation, causing abdominal pain that varies in intensity from person to person. It is recommended to take medications such as Tianqi Dysmenorrhea Capsules or Dysmenorrhea Reliever Granules under a doctor's guidance to alleviate the symptoms.

5. Endometriosis: Endometrial tissue appears outside the uterus. During menstruation, this tissue can also undergo periodic bleeding, irritating surrounding tissues and causing pain. It is recommended to follow medical advice and take medications such as Danazol Capsules or Norgestrel Capsules to improve the condition.

If a woman experiences discomfort during her menstrual period, it is advisable to seek timely medical attention and receive treatment according to the specific condition.
