Psychological factors can exacerbate dysmenorrhea. During menstruation, many women feel irritable, anxious, and tense, and these negative emotions often worsen menstrual pain. To prevent the occurrence of dysmenorrhea, women should maintain a calm and peaceful mindset during their periods. Dysmenorrhea requires long-term regulation to gradually improve. Patients should drink plenty of warm water during menstruation to promote uterine blood circulation and alleviate pain symptoms.
