Patient's question:
A few days before menstruation, there may be mild lower abdominal pain, but it's not very painful yet cannot be ignored. After it starts, the pain becomes intense, accompanied by vomiting, sweating coldly, and the urge to have a bowel movement. I vomit very severely. I don't want to eat anything, and the mere smell of oil makes me feel like vomiting.Doctor's answer:
Rheumatic pain refers to localized or systemic pain caused by diseases that primarily affect joints, muscles, bones, and surrounding soft tissues. Its symptoms fall under the category of paralysis, and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) considers it a condition resulting from the combination of wind and dampness pathogens. The symptoms include headache, fever, slight sweating, aversion to wind, body heaviness, difficulty urinating, joint pain, and inability to bend or straighten. Joint involvement, in addition to pain, is accompanied by swelling and restricted movement, presenting as a chronic, fluctuating course with periods of exacerbation and remission.Due to poor blood circulation in patients, the nutrients required by muscles or tissues cannot be delivered through the bloodstream, leading to malnutrition in the muscles. This accelerates aging, causing stiffness.
