Patient's question:
Recently, I have been suffering from severe menstrual cramps, feeling as if I'm dying and coming back to life. It's extremely painful. At this time, a close friend told me that taking birth control pills can regulate menstruation. When I heard this, I felt it wasn't very reliable, but I didn't have other options. I want to ask if taking birth control pills to regulate menstruation is harmful to the body?Doctor's answer:
Recently, my menstrual cramps have been particularly severe. This situation is related to the high pressure from my work, frequently eating cold, spicy, and processed foods, and often consuming cold drinks. It is recommended to pay attention to preventing colds, avoid getting chilled, drink some brown sugar water, and refrain from eating cold, spicy, or processed foods. You can also use a microwave therapy device to warm the area, which can help with uterine warmth. Regulating physical and mental health, maintaining personal hygiene, and avoiding bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity are also important.
