Patient's question:
34 years old, dysmenorrheaDoctor's answer:
There are many causes of dysmenorrhea, such as inflammation, endometriosis, etc. Traditional Chinese Medicine believes it is related to blood stasis blocking the menstrual flow, qi stagnation, cold in the uterus, kidney deficiency, spleen deficiency, blood deficiency, damp-heat, and turbid phlegm. It is recommended to go to a formal hospital for examination and diagnosis, and then treat the disease according to the cause. If the cause cannot be identified, you can also seek the help of an experienced Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner for syndrome differentiation and herbal treatment. Drinking rose water with brown sugar as tea can be tried, as it is quite effective clinically. During menstruation, taking Yimucao Granules, Tongjingbao Granules (Yuemeishu), and Shaofu Zhuyu Pills can be helpful.
