Dysmenorrhea during menstruation should not be treated with electromagnetic therapy devices. These electromagnetic therapy devices have a blood-activating effect, and their use during menstruation may lead to excessive menstrual flow or prolonged bleeding. Women should adjust their diet before and during menstruation, avoiding spicy, raw, cold, or other irritating foods to prevent menstrual pain. They should also avoid staying up late and overexertion to prevent endocrine disorders that could cause menstrual irregularities.
