In Singapore, where the fast-paced lifestyle meets a humid tropical climate, menstrual pain (dysmenorrhea) affects a significant number of women. Many endure monthly discomfort—from mild cramping to debilitating pain—often accepting it as an inevitable part of being a woman. At Gong Fang Tang TCM, we believe no woman should suffer in silence. Through personalized TCM approaches, we address the root causes of menstrual pain, offering lasting relief and holistic wellness.
在新加坡，快节奏的生活与湿热的气候交织，痛经困扰着许多女性。从轻微痉挛到难以忍受的剧痛，不少女性将其视为“必经之苦”。贡方堂中医妇科认为，女性无需默默忍受。我们通过个性化中医调理，从根源缓解痛经，提供长效舒缓与整体健康方案。
常见痛经类型与症状描述
Menstrual pain is not a monolithic experience. At Gong Fang Tang TCM, we categorize and treat based on specific patterns:
1.Primary Dysmenorrhea (原发性痛经)
Symptoms: Cramping pain in the lower abdomen starting 1-2 days before menstruation, lasting 2-3 days. Often begins in adolescence.
症状：经前1-2天开始的下腹痉挛性疼痛，持续2-3天，多始于青少年期。
2.Secondary Dysmenorrhea (继发性痛经)
Symptoms: Progressive worsening of pain, often associated with conditions like endometriosis, adenomyosis, or fibroids.
症状：疼痛进行性加重，常与子宫内膜异位症、子宫腺肌症或肌瘤相关。
3.Qi Stagnation & Blood Stasis Pattern (气滞血瘀型)
Symptoms: Distending or stabbing pain, breast tenderness, irritability, dark menstrual blood with clots.
症状：胀痛或刺痛，乳房胀痛，烦躁易怒，经血色暗有血块。
4.Cold-Damp Accumulation Pattern (寒湿凝滞型)
Symptoms: Cold pain relieved by warmth, preference for hot packs, pale menstrual flow. Common in air-conditioned Singapore.
症状：冷痛得温则减，喜用热敷，经血色淡。在新加坡空调环境中常见。
5.Qi & Blood Deficiency Pattern (气血虚弱型)
Symptoms: Dull pain relieved by pressure, fatigue, pale complexion, scanty flow.
症状：隐痛喜按，疲劳乏力，面色苍白，经量少。
痛经成因：中医与现代医学视角
Traditional Chinese Medicine Perspective
TCM views menstrual pain primarily as a disruption in the flow of Qi (vital energy) and blood in the Chong and Ren meridians, which govern the uterus. Key imbalances include:
Liver Qi Stagnation: Emotional stress or frustration causing Qi blockage.
Cold Invasion: Excessive exposure to cold environments or consumption of cold foods/drinks.
Blood Stasis: Poor circulation leading to painful obstruction.
Qi & Blood Deficiency: Inadequate nourishment of the uterine vessels.
中医视角
中医认为痛经主要是冲任二脉气血运行不畅所致，常见失衡包括：
肝气郁结：情绪压力或郁怒导致气机阻滞。
寒邪入侵：过度暴露于寒冷环境或食用生冷饮食。
血瘀内阻：血液循环不畅导致瘀阻作痛。
气血虚弱：胞宫失于濡养。
Modern Medical Perspective
Primary dysmenorrhea: Caused by prostaglandin release triggering uterine contractions.
Secondary dysmenorrhea: Underlying conditions like endometriosis or pelvic inflammatory disease.
Contributing factors in Singapore: Air-conditioned environments, high stress levels, sedentary lifestyles.
现代医学视角
原发性痛经：前列腺素释放引发子宫收缩。
继发性痛经：子宫内膜异位或盆腔炎等基础疾病。
新加坡影响因素：空调环境、高压力、久坐生活方式。
