Patient's question:
Female, 24 years old, my body is relatively weak, especially during my period, I suffer from severe menstrual cramps. Can menstrual cramps be treated and improved?Doctor's answer:
Menstrual cramps are very common in women. Generally, they can be relieved with cold compresses, and drinking some brown sugar water can help nourish the body. If the pain is severe, you can temporarily take pain relievers. If the pain is severe every time, it's best to have a thorough examination. If the examination is normal, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and herbal medicine are indeed very effective methods, but it is essential to go to a regular hospital for a thorough examination and treatment. Generally, TCM can be used during the 7-10-day menstrual period. If acupuncture treatment can be combined, the effect will be even better.
