Patient's question:
Doctor, I have always had menstrual cramps. Every time I get my period, the pain is so severe that I feel like I'm dying. I've tried traditional Chinese medicine to regulate my body and have also taken Western medicine. Now, whenever the pain gets intense, I take pain relievers to alleviate it. The hospital said I have primary dysmenorrhea. What is primary dysmenorrhea?Doctor's answer:
Hello, primary dysmenorrhea is mainly caused by uterine inflammation leading to menstrual pain symptoms. Secondary dysmenorrhea is generally common with endometriosis. Primary dysmenorrhea is mainly affected by cold, cervical canal stenosis leading to menstrual pain. Pay attention to preventing colds, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods during menstruation. Carefully observe whether the menstrual pain symptoms can be relieved by local cold prevention.
