Patient's question:
Female, 31 years old, has been experiencing lower back pain and abdominal cramps during her menstrual period. She wants to improve this condition. How can girls effectively alleviate menstrual pain?Doctor's answer:
Girls experience menstrual cramps primarily due to the spasm of smooth muscles in the uterus, which causes severe pain. Pain relievers can be used to alleviate menstrual cramps. Alternatively, placing a hot water bag on the lower abdomen or drinking more hot water can also help relieve the pain. During menstruation, it's important to avoid cold exposure and prevent chills. Different causes can lead to different symptoms, and patients should seek systematic and standardized examinations at reputable Grade-A hospitals as soon as possible to receive targeted treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a regular schedule, take precautions against cold exposure, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water in their daily lives.
