Professor He Fengjie's Clinical Experience in Diagnosis and Treatment of Dysmenorrhea from Traditional Chinese Medicine

Abstract

Dysmenorrhea is a common gynecological disease in clinical practice, which refers to the periodic occurrence of abdominal pain or accompanied by lower back pain during and before menstruation. The stimulation of various emotional, fear, and other neurological and psychological factors can exacerbate the degree of dysmenorrhea. Physical discomfort during this period can easily affect women's normal life and even their mental health. Modern medicine divides dysmenorrhea into primary and secondary dysmenorrhea. In clinical practice, Western medicine mainly uses prostaglandin synthase inhibitors and short acting contraceptives to treat dysmenorrhea, which have many side effects and limited use. Professor He Fengjie, a nationally renowned traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, has been engaged in gynecology for over 46 years and has his own experience in the clinical diagnosis and treatment of dysmenorrhea. Professor He Fengjie believes that the fundamental cause of dysmenorrhea is blood stasis, and diagnosis and treatment often focus on removing blood stasis and adjusting according to the symptoms. The article introduces Professor He Fengjie's clinical experience in treating dysmenorrhea, in order to provide new ideas for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of dysmenorrhea.
