Patient's question:
I started getting my period at the age of 14. I still vaguely remember that it was the first time I had it when I was in middle school. The first time, it lasted for seven days, and the flow was quite heavy. But after that, it was only for two or three days, accompanied by issues like menstrual cramps. My period is irregular, and I have a deficiency in the liver and kidneys. How can I take care of menstrual cramps?Doctor's answer:
Irregular menstruation, prone to recurring dysmenorrhea, generally requires oral medication for regulation. Dysmenorrhea can be categorized into physiological and pathological types. Physiological dysmenorrhea usually improves quickly with rest, drinking more brown sugar water, avoiding cold exposure, and gentle abdominal massage. Pathological dysmenorrhea, however, is more persistent and must be treated with blood-activating medications. Gynecological diseases are conditions that are prone to recurrence. During treatment, women should pay close attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients focus on maintaining good vaginal hygiene and follow a light diet as the foundation.
