Patient's question:
I have had menstrual cramps for several years. I have also tried drinking brown sugar water before my period, but it has never been effective. If it does hurt, there's nothing I can do. Is menstrual cramps a symptom of irregular periods? Do I need treatment? I have always believed that menstrual cramps might be due to cold exposure, but drinking hot water hasn't helped alleviate the pain either.Doctor's answer:
Dysmenorrhea is also a manifestation of menstrual disorders, commonly occurring due to cold exposure during the menstrual period or uterine coldness. Dysmenorrhea caused by gynecological inflammation should be noted. If you have symptoms of dysmenorrhea, pay attention to your health during the menstrual period. You can drink brown sugar water to dispel cold and activate blood circulation. You can also take oral anti-dysmenorrheal drugs under the guidance of a doctor. If you frequently experience dysmenorrhea, you should undergo an ultrasound examination to identify the cause before taking medication. The recurrence of gynecological diseases severely harms women's health, so it is necessary to avoid sexual activity during treatment and pay attention to personal hygiene.
