Patient's question:

If it is primary dysmenorrhea, then symptomatic treatment is necessary. Avoid cold foods before and during menstruation, drink brown sugar water, and apply cold compresses. If it is secondary progressive dysmenorrhea, an ultrasound should be performed to rule out endometriosis, although the likelihood is low at your age. Different causes lead to different symptoms, and patients need to seek systematic and standardized examination at a reputable tertiary hospital as soon as possible to receive symptomatic treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain regular routines, prevent cold exposure, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water.
