Dysmenorrhea, or painful uterine contractions during menstruation in women, is a common condition. It may affect up to 90% of patients in a doctor's office. Depending on the severity of symptoms, it may cause discomfort or prevent normal functioning in everyday life. Some women do not realize that this is not a normal symptom during menstruation. Unfortunately, lack of exercise, smoking, or drinking alcohol only increases the symptoms. A medical history and physical examination of the patient are important steps in finding the cause. Primary dysmenorrhea is primarily associated with the pathogenesis of prostaglandins and leukotrienes, which generate inflammation and pain. However, it has nothing to do with pelvic pathology. It usually first appears in young women during puberty, up to 24 months after their first period. If the history and physical examination are not clear about the primary cause of pain, a secondary cause should be considered. For this purpose, a transvaginal ultrasound examination should be performed. The most common secondary pathology is endometriosis. In the treatment of primary and secondary diseases, physical exercises and warm compresses are beneficial, which women are often unaware of. First-line pharmacological treatment may include NSAIDs or combined oral estrogen-progestogen hormonal therapy. The purpose of this review is to provide knowledge about the symptoms, risk factors, diagnosis, and treatment of dysmenorrhea.

The aim of this systematic review was to identify the current state of knowledge on the association between susceptibility genes associated with this disorder and the lifestyle of patients (including diet, habits and stress levels). It also highlighted the advances made in this field of study, from a constructive point of view, and pointed out the perspectives for research into this disorder. Dysmenorrhoea, as a primary and secondary disorder, is one of the main causes of partial or total disability in the life cycle of women, both in reproductive age and later. It is recognised as a painful and disabling disorder which, depending on the cultural context, may or may not be cured by medical care, physiotherapy and the use of pain-relieving drugs, from an unknown aetiology (primary dysmenorrhoea) or concomitantly to surgical intervention (secondary dysmenorrhoea). Lifestyle, habits and diet have been identified as related to the intensity of pain and the disability it causes (active or passive use of cigarettes, consumption of alcohol, etc.), and genes related to the interpretation of pain generated by the patient from the morphology of the hypothalamus and the associative function of pain (BNDF Val66Met polymorphism) have been identified, as well as alterations in cytokines (in primary dysmenorrhoea), prostaglandins and an influence of the Cyp1A1 gene (in passive smokers). The study perspective is usually non-integrative and limited to the site studied, as well as to professional, laboratory, imaging (gynaecological and genetic) and/or molecular resources, which can only in a few cases be of an integral approach. Limitations are compounded by the fact that not all the populations studied are usually educated about menstruation, which also limits compatibility and comparability among studies.

The World Health Organization estimates dysmenorrhea as the most important cause of a chronic pelvic pain. Its prevalence among adolescents and young women ranges from 40 % to 90 %, and varies, depending on age, country of residence and population density of the area. Primary dysmenorrhea is responsible for reducing the quality of life, absenteeism in the workplace or at school, refusing to participate in community and sporting events, changing of pain perception and sleep disturbance. There is evidence of its relationship with an early menarche, a family history, a length of the menstrual cycle, bad habits, poor sleep hygiene, an unbalanced diet, sedentary lifestyle and obesity. Characteristic features of a personality contribute in a certain way, making women prone to neuroticism and pain catastrophizing to be more at risk of developing dysmenorrhea. Irritable bowel syndrome, musculoskeletal pain and interstitial cystitis often accompany dysmenorrhea and respond to its treatment positively. Despite the proven validity of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs treatment there are resistant forms of menstrual pain, those make a search for alternative therapy relevant.

Abstract Background The unicornuate uterus is caused by abnormal or failed development of one Müllerian duct. Unicornuate uteri with functioning non-communicating rudimentary horns are susceptible to many gynaecologic and obstetric complications such as hematometra, endometriosis and ectopic pregnancy and thus surgical resection is usually recommended.. Case presentation We report a rare case of a unicornuate right uterus with rudimentary non-communicating (functional) cavitary left horn (class U4a) in a 17-year-old girl who was diagnosed with VACTERL association. She was presented to our centre with 3 years history of secondary sever dysmenorrhea. Pelvic magnetic resonance imaging revealed a normal uterus on the right side, a 7 × 8 cm left endometrioma, a tortuous dilated fluid-filled structure in the left hemipelvis, mostly represented left-sided hematosalpinx, and a well-defined lesion with thick enhancing wall in the left hemipelvis measuring 6.7 × 5.7 × 5.6 cm with a similar enhancement to the uterus in the right. She underwent laparotomy that showed a right unicornuate uterus with a normal cervix and a rudimentary non-communicating distended left horn. In addition, there was a left endometrioma and left hematosalpinx. Resection of the left communicating horn, left salpingectomy and left ovarian cystectomy were performed. The right tube and both ovaries were preserved. At 9-months follow up, the patient had a regular period and the pain subsided completely. Conclusion We report yet the second case of VACTERL association and unicornuate uterus with non-communicating functional rudimentary horn, in hope of expanding the knowledge of a rare occurrence. This case also highlights the importance of considering the diagnosis of Müllerian duct anomalies in patients with a history of other anomalies, and/or history of early-age secondary dysmenorrhea.

Congenital uterine anomalies are an uncommon type of female genital malformations caused by abnormal development of müllerian ducts during embryogenesis. Patients with an obstructive uterine anomaly have a higher risk of developing gynecological and obstetric complications that may present at menarche or later in life. We present a case of severe dysmenorrhea in a young teenager caused by obstructive hematometra in a noncommunicating horn of the unicornuate uterus. A differential diagnosis of a possible anomaly was made using 2-dimensional pelvic ultrasonography, which was later confirmed using MRI that revealed an anomalous uterine cavity with a single left-sided cornua communicating with the cervix and a distended right-sided rudimentary horn. She underwent a right salpingectomy with rudimentary horn excision, which was successfully managed laparoscopically. This case emphasizes the importance of physicians being cognizant in identifying patients with uterine anomaly to provide appropriate treatment and prevent adverse reproductive outcomes.

Although nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs can alleviate menstrual pain, about 18% of women with dysmenorrhea are unresponsive, leaving them and their physicians to pursue less well-studied strategies. The goal of this review is to provide a background for treating menstrual pain when first-line options fail. Research on menstrual pain and failure of similar drugs in the antiplatelet category suggested potential mechanisms underlying nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug resistance. Based on these mechanisms, alternative options may be helpful for refractory cases. This review also identifies key pathways in need of further study to optimize menstrual pain treatment.

- Abstract
Objective: To observe the meridian-acupoint reactions of foot three yin meridians in primary dysmenorrhea(PD) and secondary dysmenorrhea(SD) patients, so as to summarize the rules of meridian-acupoint reaction and acupoints selection., Methods: Thirty-five patients with PD (PD group), 34 patients with SD (SD group) and 35 healthy subjects (healthy group) were recruited. The compression method was used to examine the lower leg segment of the foot three yin meridians. Positive reactions(palpable skin changes, including cords, nodules, depressions) and tenderness of meridians and acupoints were recorded. The visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to evaluate the tenderness severity of acupoints., Results: Compared with the healthy group, the probability of positive reactions and tenderness in foot three yin meridians were higher in PD and SD groups ( P <0.01, P <0.05). Compared with the PD group, the probability of positive reactions in Spleen and Liver Meridians were higher in the SD group, with higher probability of tenderness in Liver Meridian( P <0.05). The probability of positive reactions and tenderness in the Spleen Meridian of PD and SD groups was significantly higher than that in the Kidney Meridian ( P <0.01), while the probability of tenderness in the Spleen Meridian of the PD group was significantly higher than that in the Liver Meridian ( P <0.05). Positive reactions and tenderness were concentrated at Yinlingquan (SP9), Diji (SP8) and Sanyinjiao (SP6) of Spleen Meridian and Xiguan (LR7) and Ligou (LR5) in Liver Meridian of PD and SD groups. In comparison with the PD group, the probability of positive reactions, tenderness and VAS score of SP8 and LR5 of the SD group were higher ( P <0.05, P <0.01)., Conclusion: The positive reaction occurs most frequently in the Spleen Meridian, followed by the Liver Meridian, and least frequently in the Kidney Meridian. The acupoints with positive reaction are different between PD and SD, which suggests that the Spleen Meridian acupoints should be the main acupoints when treating the two kinds of dysmenorrhea, and acupoints should also be selected according to the meridian and acupoint examination results.

Ее распространенность среди подростков и молодых женщин колеблется от 40 до 90 % и варьирует в зависимости от возраста, страны проживания и густоты населенности местности. Первичная дисменорея ответственна за снижение качества жизни, отсутствие на работе или в школе, отказ от участия в общественных и спортивных мероприятиях, изменение восприятия боли и нарушения сна. Имеются данные о ее взаимосвязи с ранним менархе, отягощенным семейным анамнезом, длительностью менструального цикла, вредными привычками, плохой гигиеной сна, несбалансированным питанием, малоподвижным образом жизни и ожирением. Определенную лепту вносят характерологические особенности личности, делая женщин, склонных к невротизации и катастрофизации боли, более подверженными риску развития дисменореи. Синдром раздраженного кишечника, мышечноскелетная боль и интерстициальный цистит часто сопутствуют дисменорее и положительно реагируют на ее лечение. Несмотря на доказанную обоснованность терапии нестероидными противовоспалительными препаратами, встречаются резистентные формы менструальной боли, что делает актуальными поиски альтернативных методов лечения., За оцінками Всесвітньої організації охорони здоров'я, дисменорея є найважливішою причиною хронічного тазового болю. Її поширеність серед підлітків і молодих жінок коливається від 40 % до 90 % і варіює залежно від віку, країни проживання та густоти населеності місцевості. Первинна дисменорея відповідальна за зниження якості життя, відсутність на роботі або в школі, відмову від участі в громадських та спортивних заходах, зміну сприйняття болю і порушення сну. Є дані про її взаємозв’язок з раннім менархе, обтяженим сімейним анамнезом, тривалістю менструального циклу, шкідливими звичками, поганою гігієною сну, незбалансованим харчуванням, малорухливим способом життя й ожирінням. Певну лепту вносять характерологічні особливості особистості, роблячи жінок, схильних до невротизації й катастрофізації болю, більш схильними до ризику розвитку дисменореї. Синдром подразненого кишечника, м’язовоскелетний біль та інтерстиціальний цистит часто супроводжують дисменорею і позитивно реагують на її лікування. Незважаючи на доведену обґрунтованість терапії нестероїдними протизапальними препаратами, зустрічаються резистентні форми менструального болю, що робить актуальними пошуки альтернативних методів лікування.

Dysmenorrhea is one of the most common diseases in women. Dysmenorrhea is divided into primary dysmenorrhea (PD) and secondary dysmenorrhea (SD) . The prevalence of dysmenorrhea is high. However, there is no unified treatment for dysmenorrhea at home and abroad. In this paper, the relevant literatures of acupuncture and moxibustion for dysmenorrhea in China and Europe in recent years are systematically sorted, analyzed, concluded and summarized. The purpose of this paper is to explore the differences in classification, acupoint selection, treatment methods and needle retention time between China and Europe in the treatment of dysmenorrhea by acupuncture.

20. Endometriosis in teenagers.

Sarıdoğan, Ertan
- Abstract
Endometriosis affects a significant proportion of teenagers. Published studies suggest that laparoscopically confirmed endometriosis could be found in over 60% of adolescent girls undergoing laparoscopic investigation for pain, in 75% of girls with chronic pelvic pain resistant to treatment and in 70% of girls with dysmenorrhea and in approximately 50% of girls with chronic pelvic pain not necessarily resistant to treatment. Both early and advanced forms, including deep endometriosis have been reported to be present in teenagers. It has recently been claimed that deep endometriosis has its roots in teenage years. Risk factors include obstructive mullerian anomalies, family history, early menarche and early onset dysmenorrhea. Both surgical and medical treatment approaches are used for treatment in this age group, but care should be taken when treatment with GnRHa and progestins is being considered due to their potential impact on bone formation. Further studies are urgently needed to determine whether early diagnosis and treatment of teenage endometriosis lead to better long term outcomes or simply increase number of interventions without preventing progression of the disease.

Secondary dysmenorrhea is frequently associated with dyspareunia. When the diagnostic workup is negative, its clinical management could be complex and a cause for concerned for the patient. We reported a case of a young woman who suffered from dyspareunia, dysmenorrhea and chronic pelvic pain. After symptoms progression and pharmacological therapy unresponsiveness, the gynaecologist referred the patient to an osteopath for the functional evaluation of the abdominal pevic area. The examination revealed the presence of pelvic, lumbosacral, and sacrococcygeal dysfunctions which, once treated, significatively reduced the severity of dysmenorrhea and dyspareunia. A multidisciplinary approach might be considered in case of suspected functional impairment. This should be carefully evaluated, considering the previous trauma history and the somatic dysfunctions on abdominal-pelvic fascia.

Primary dysmenorrhea is a common gynecological disorder among adolescents females without pathological abnormalities. Primary dysmenorrhea usually begins two days before menstruation or during menstruation and lasts up to 48-72 hours. This is due to high levels of prostaglandins that cause contraction in the myometrium. The incidence of dysmenorrhea in Indonesia is 64.25%, which 54.89% has primary dysmenorrhea while 9.36% has secondary dysmenorrhea. In principle there are two therapies for treatment of primary dysmenorrhea that is pharmacological and non-pharmacological. Cow milk is a food that containing high calcium and can be used as one of the non-pharmacological therapy to reduce pain intensity of primary dysmenorrhea. This study aims to determine the influence of cow milk consumption to decrease the pain intensity of primary dysmenorrhea in students of nursing department at SMKN 2 Malang. The research design used was true experiment with pre test-post test with control group design. The sample in this study were 21 people and divided into three groups taken by simple random sampling . The results showed that there was a difference of decrease pain intensity in three groups using One Way Anova test with p value 0.000 (p

Menstrual disorders and abnormal uterine bleeding are common worries of young women. Complaints comprise menses that are: too painful (dysmenorrhea), prolonged and heavy (menorrhagia, or excessive uterine bleeding), or absent or arise irregularly (amenorrhea or oligoamenorrhea). In providing optimal reproductive care, the medical provider should be capable of distinguishing between normal developmental patterns or symptoms necessitating education and reassurance from pathologic conditions needing early evaluation and management. This article discusses the normal menstrual patterns seen in adolescent females and provides treatment and management approach to primary and secondary dysmenorrhea.

Pediatric surgeons are called upon to evaluate abdominal and pelvic pain in girls of all ages. Dysmenorrhea and adnexal pathology are important to consider in the evaluation and subsequent management of such patients. An understanding of not only the pathology and surgical management but also the long-term implications is absolutely crucial for pediatric surgeons and pediatricians alike. Careful diagnosis and an emerging commitment to ovarian preservation define treatment for pediatric dysmenorrhea and adnexal pathology. In this review, we discuss primary and secondary dysmenorrhea as well as adnexal pathology that may present in pediatric patients.

Mullerian duct malformations represent a miscellaneous group of congenital anomalies that result from the arrested development, abnormal formation or incomplete fusion of the paramesonephric ducts. Congenital Mullerian abnormalities usually present at adolescent age with menstrual irregulari¬ty, dysmenorrhea, infertility and recurrent pregnancy loss. The Unicornuate uterus is a rare uterine malformation which usually features a rudimentary accessory horn with or without functioning endometrium. We are presenting a case of perimenopausal multiparous patient who had history of secondary dysmenorrhea diagnosed with endometrioma on imaging studies, but on laparotomy incidentally found to have Unicornuate uterus with functioning noncommunicating rudimentary horn leading to hematometra and hematosalpinx. The objective of this clinical case report is to highlight this rare Mullerian malformation as a differential diagnosis of secondary dysmenorrhea, chronic pelvic pain or adnexal mass in perimenopausal age group females.

Aim To investigate the safety and efficacy of dienogest (DNG), a progestational 19-norsteroid, administered for 52 weeks in patients with primary and secondary dysmenorrhea. Methods A total of 147 patients with dysmenorrhea received 1 mg of DNG orally each day for 52 weeks. The dose could be increased to 2 mg/day at or after Week 12 according to the investigator's determination. The primary safety endpoint was evaluation of adverse events, and the secondary safety endpoint was evaluation of adverse drug reactions. The number of days and severity of genital bleeding were assessed according to records in the patients' diary. Lower abdominal pain and/or low back pain because of dysmenorrhea were assessed according to the dysmenorrhea score. Results The most frequent adverse drug reaction was irregular uterine bleeding (94.6%). Most subjects completed the 52-week administration. Genital bleeding was more likely to occur in subjects with secondary dysmenorrhea than in those with primary dysmenorrhea, and in subjects with "uterine myoma or adenomyosis" than in those with "endometriosis alone." In any of the categorizations, there tended to be fewer days with genital bleeding as the treatment period increased in length, and most of the genital bleeding cases were mild. The change from baseline in the dysmenorrhea score (mean ± standard deviation [SD]) was -3.7 ± 1.6 at Week 24 of treatment and -4.0 ± 1.3 at Week 52. Conclusion This study showed favorable tolerability of the long-term use of DNG to patients with dysmenorrhea and a sustainable pain relief effect.

Background Although dysmenorrhea is not a life-threatening condition, it can cause a substantial burden on individuals and communities. There is no data on the prevalence of dysmenorrhea in Kuwait. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of dysmenorrhea among female public high-school students in Kuwait and investigate factors associated with dysmenorrhea. Methods A cross-sectional study using multistage cluster sampling with probability proportional to size method was conducted on 763 twelfth grade female public high-school students (aged 16–21 years). We used face-to-face interview with a structured questionnaire to collect data on dysmenorrhea and presumed risk factors. Weight and height of the students were measured using appropriate weight and height scales in a standardized manner. The association between dysmenorrhea and potential risk factors was assessed using multiple logistic regression. Results The one-year prevalence of dysmenorrhea was found to be 85.6% (95%CI: 83.1–88.1%). Of the participants with dysmenorrhea, 26% visited a public or a private clinic for their pain and 4.1% were hospitalized for their menstrual pain. Furthermore, 58.2% of students with dysmenorrhea missed at least one school day and 13.9% missed at least one exam. Age of menarche (p-value = 0.005), regularity and flow of the menstrual period (p-value = 0.025, p-value = 0.009; respectively), and drinking coffee (p-value = 0.004) were significantly associated with dysmenorrhea in multivariable analysis. Conclusion Dysmenorrhea seems to be highly prevalent among female high-school students in Kuwait, resembling that of high-income countries. Because of the scale of the problem, utilizing school nurses to reassure and manage students with primary dysmenorrhea and referring suspected cases of secondary dysmenorrhea is recommended.

Unlike many conditions in medicine, the classification of painful menstruation into primary and secondary dysmenorrhea is not based on the temporal appearance of symptoms or the condition, as it is in primary and secondary amenorrhea, or primary and secondary infertility. The taxonomy of primary and secondary dysmenorrhea is based upon the absence or presence (respectively) of clinically identifiable causes. In both cases, a great deal is known about the pathophysiology underlying the development of menstrual pain. It is, therefore, not an issue of a lack of identifiable causation; it is the lack of clinically identifiable processes that drive the assignment.

Background. Primary dysmenorrhea, defined as painful menstrual cramps originating in the uterus without underlying pathology, is a gynecological disease that affects quality of life and school success. Our goal was to determine the effect of anterior uterocervical angle on primary dysmenorrhea and disease severity. Methods. A total of 200 virgin adolescents, 16 to 20 years of age, were included in the study. The Andersch and Milsom scale was used to determine dysmenorrhea severity. Those with pathologies causing secondary dysmenorrhea were excluded from the study. Study subjects were grouped based on severity of pain. Demographic characteristics and uterocervical ultrasonographic measurements were compared among groups. Results. Of the 200 participants enrolled in the study, 50 were healthy controls and 150 had primary dysmenorrhea. Those with primary dysmenorrhea had a significant family history of primary dysmenorrhea compared with controls (P<0.001). Age (P=0.668), body mass index (P=0.898), menarche age (P=0.915), and length of menstrual cycles (P=0.740) were similar in all groups. The uterine corpus longitudinal axis, uterine corpus transverse axis, and uterine cervix longitudinal axis were also similar (P=0.359, P=0.279, and P=0.369, resp.). The mean uterocervical angle was 146.8 ± 6.0 in controls and 143.3 ± 7.3 in those with mild pain with no significant difference between the groups. In those with moderate pain, the mean uterocervical angle was 121.2 ± 7.3 compared with 101 ± 9.2 in those with severe pain, which was a significant difference. Additionally, there was also a significant difference in the uterocervical angle among those with mild, moderate, and severe pain (P<0.001). Conclusion. Our results indicate that a narrower anterior uterocervical angle is associated with primary dysmenorrhea and disease severity.

espanolLa dismenorrea primaria es el sintoma mas comun asociado a la menstruacion y se puede clasificar en dismenorrea primaria, que es el dolor pelvico asociado a la menstruacion en ausencia de patologia pelvica subyacente, y en dismenorrea secundaria, que es cuando se puede atribuir la sintomatologia a alguna patologia pelvica de fondo. La prevalencia de esta patologia es altamente subestimada y varia ampliamente. El proceso patologico no se ha entendido de manera completa, pero segun investigaciones es el resultado del aumento de produccion de prostaglandinas y leucotrienos, con el resultante incremento de la actividad miometrial. El diagnostico se basa principalmente en una historia clinica exhaustiva y un examen fisico dirigido, aunque la respuesta al tratamiento tambien corrobora el diagnostico. El principal objetivo del tratamiento de la dismenorrea es la reduccion del dolor y mejorar la funcionalidad de las pacientes, siendo la primera linea los antiinflamatorios no esteroideos y la terapia hormonal. EnglishPrimary dysmenorrhea is the most common symptom associated with menstruation and can be classified into primary dysmenorrhea, which is the pelvic pain associated with menstruation in the absence of an underlying pelvic pathology, and in secondary dysmenorrhea, which is when the symptomatology can be attributed to an underlying pelvic pathology. The prevalence of this pathology is highly underestimated and varies widely. The pathological process has not been fully understood, but according to research it is the result of increased production of prostaglandins and leukotrienes, with the resulting increase in myometrial activity. The diagnosis is mainly based on a thorough medical history and a targeted physical examination, although the response to treatment also corroborates the diagnosis. The main objective of treatment of dysmenorrhea is to reduce pain and improve the functionality of patients, being the first line treatment the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and hormonal therapy.

Context: Dysmenorrhea is the most common gynecological complaint in Iran but the true prevalence of it is not clear yet. This study is aimed to estimate the overall prevalence of dysmenorrhea in Iran. Evidence Acquisition: International and national electronic databases including PubMed, ISI, Ovid, Scopus, Science Direct, SID, MagIran and IranMedex were searched up to January 2016. All studies, in which the prevalence of dysmenorrhea in Iran had been reported, were included in this meta-analysis. Eligible studies were reviewed, and data was extracted onto a standard data sheet. A Meta-analysis was done by a random-effects model with a 95% confidence interval (CI). Results: Twenty-five studies were assessed involving an overall of 9,677 participants, of which 6,748 had primary dysmenorrhea and 280 had secondary dysmenorrhea. The overall prevalence of primary and secondary dysmenorrhea was 0.71 (95% CI: 0.65, 0.77) and 0.18 (95% CI: 0.03, 0.32), respectively. Conclusions: Primary dysmenorrhea is a common problem in Iran however, there are only a few studies regarding secondary dysmenorrhea prevalence. Moreover, there is a significant variation between the results of the studies on the primary dysmenorrhea prevalence. Therefore, further evidence-based data on national studies is needed to estimate the exact estimation of dysmenorrhea prevalence in Iran.

Unicornuate uterus with a rudimentary horn is a rare congenital Müllerian anomaly, which may lead to many obstetrical and gynaecological complications. This pathology occurs in approximately 1/100 000 women. A rudimentary horn forms due to insufficient development of the Müllerian duct. The diagnosis of this anomaly is usually delayed, as it remains asymptomatic until adolescence and its main symptom is dysmenorrhea.

Objective: To observe the clinical effect of acupuncture by stages on secondary dysmenorrhea of adenomyosis through prospective case-series study., Methods: A total of 36 cases of adenomyosis patients with moderate-to-severe dysmenorrhea were treated with acupuncture by stages. The acupoints of Diji (SP 8), Sanyinjiao (SP 6), Ciliao (BL 32) and Shiqizhui (EX-B 8) were selected and acupuncture was given once a day during menstrual period; the acupoints of Guanyuan (CV 4), Zigong (EX-CA1), Sanyinjiao (SP 6) and Zusanli (ST 36) ect. were selected and acupuncture was given twice per week during non-menstrual period. All the treatment was given for three menstrual cycles. The visual analogue scale (VAS), Cox menstrual symptom scale (CMSS), Endometriosis Health Profile-5 (EHP-5) scores and the menstrual blood volume of pictorial blood loss assessment chart (PBAC) were observed before treatment and at the 1st, 2nd and 3rd menstrual cycle into treatment. Before treatment and at the 3rd menstrual cycle into treatment, the volume of uterus was measured by transvaginal ultrasound and the correlation among the quality of life, the severity of pain and symptoms was analyzed., Results: The VAS, CMSS and EHP-5 scores at the 1st, 2nd and 3rd menstrual cycle into treatment were lower than those before treatment ( P <0.01, P <0.05), and the PBAC scores were reduced but without statistical different ( P >0.05). Compared before treatment, at the 1st, 2nd and 3rd menstrual cycle into treatment, the PBAC scores were reduced in patients with PBAC>100 points ( P <0.01). Compared between 2nd and 1st menstrual cycle into treatment, between 3rd and 2nd menstrual cycle into treatment, the VAS, CMSS scores were all decreased ( P <0.01, P <0.05). There was a significant positive correlation between the severity score of CMSS and EHP-5 at the corresponding time points of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd menstrual cycle into treatment ( P <0.01)., Conclusion: The acupuncture by stages has significant analgesic effect in patients with secondary dysmenorrhea of adenomyosis, and has the advantages of relieving the menstruation-related symptoms, regulating menstrual blood volume and improving the quality of life.

- Abstract
To discuss the acupuncture and moxibustion thoughts of diagnosis and treatment for secondary dysmenorrhea of adenomyosis on the basis of disease location and pathogenesis. In clinic, we take the "principle, method, prescription, acupoint and technic" as the outline, paying attention to identify disease location and establishing the method of "promoting blood to remove stasis, regulating thoroughfare vessel and conception vessel" on the basis of the pathogenesis of "stasis obstructing uterus, disharmony of thoroughfare vessel and conception vessel". The prescription combines "dredging" with "conditioning", and the emphasis should be different in different periods. In menstrual period, we put emphasis on activating the circulation of qi and blood as well as clearing meridians to relieve pain and choose the acupoints on the spleen meridian of foot- taiyin and experimental points, such as Diji (SP 8), Sanyinjiao (SP 6), Ciliao (BL 32), Shiqizhui (EX-B 8). In the intermenstrual period, we regulate the qi and blood of thoroughfare vessel and conception vessel, and the function of viscera. The acupoints for the disease root are mainly at spleen meridian of foot- taiyin and conception vessel, such as Sanyinjiao (SP 6), Guanyuan (CV 4), Zigong (EX-CA 1), Zusanli (ST 36). And the reinforcing and reducing technic are applied accordingly.
