Patient's question:
A 13-year-old girl has her menstrual period, experiencing left abdominal pain and dry heaving each time. She cannot eat or even drink water. She had an ultrasound done locally and was diagnosed with a small amount of pelvic fluid in the left ovary (during her menstrual period when the ultrasound was performed).Doctor's answer:
Menstrual cramps combined with nausea and other discomforts may be related to cold exposure and blood stagnation, leading to poor menstrual flow. It is recommended to drink brown sugar ginger water during the period, use heat patches, and consider taking medications like Yuemei Shu for regulation. Pay special attention to avoiding cold exposure in daily life, especially during the period, and enhance this measure if necessary. Seek a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner for syndrome differentiation and body constitution regulation when needed. The above advice is for the question "What should I do if a 13-year-old girl has left-sided abdominal pain and vomiting every time she menstruates?" and is hoped to be helpful. Wishing you good health!
