Patient's question:
Back and shoulder pain, sometimes with a slight fever-like sensation. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I'm also extremely cold-sensitive. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Back and shoulder pain generally requires consideration of cervical spine diseases or periarthritis of the shoulder, and it is unrelated to the menstrual cycle. If menstrual irregularities reappear, it may be due to reasons such as qi stagnation and blood stasis, insufficient qi and blood, or uterine coldness. For shoulder pain, it is necessary to conduct X-ray examinations of the cervical spine and shoulder joints to identify the condition. For menstrual irregularities, it is generally recommended to undergo sex hormone six-item tests and abdominal ultrasound examinations, or consult a traditional Chinese medicine department to determine the cause and provide symptomatic treatment.Endometriosis is an easily occurring gynecological disease. During medication, women should pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is advised that patients maintain clean external genitalia and change underwear frequently. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery!
