Patient's question:
Female, 29 years old, experiencing severe lower abdominal pain during menstruation, it's really troublesome. I want to consult, how should I regulate it when menstrual cramps are severe?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that you get a pelvic ultrasound now to rule out the possibility of endometriosis, as some cases of menstrual pain are caused by this condition. If endometriosis is diagnosed, the menstrual pain will stabilize after treatment. If it is not a disease-related issue, then you will need to focus on proper self-care, such as taking traditional Chinese medicine like Guizhi Fuling pills orally, and pay attention to avoiding cold exposure. Different causes lead to different symptoms, and patients should seek systematic and standardized examinations at reputable tertiary hospitals as soon as possible based on their specific conditions to receive targeted treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a regular schedule, ensure proper warmth and insulation, eat light and soft foods, keep the environment well-ventilated, and drink plenty of hot water daily.
