Patient's question:
Female, 30 years old, my body is relatively weak, especially during my period, I suffer from severe menstrual cramps. How can I relieve the pain?Doctor's answer:
Dysmenorrhea is caused by blood stasis, where blockage leads to pain. It is recommended to consult an experienced traditional Chinese medicine practitioner before your next menstrual period for conditioning. In addition to possible causes like uterine cold, Western medicine cannot treat the root of the problem, so traditional Chinese medicine regulation is still advised. It is important to visit a hospital 1-2 days before your period, as different causes lead to different symptoms. Patients should seek systematic and standardized examinations in reputable Grade A hospitals as soon as possible to receive targeted treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain regular sleep patterns, practice warmth preservation, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water daily.
