Patient's question:
Hello doctor! I have primary dysmenorrhea, and every time I have severe abdominal pain, feel cold all over, sometimes even vomit. Recently, my lower back also hurts a lot, and I always have very large blood clots. I have tried many Western and Chinese medicines in the past, but they haven't been very effective. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Your condition is mostly functional dysmenorrhea, which often occurs in married or unmarried women who are not pregnant. It is recommended that you visit a hospital for a thorough examination and receive targeted treatment after diagnosis. Additionally, intense physical activity during the menstrual period, exposure to cold or chilling due to inadequate clothing, can lead to dysmenorrhea. Regular exercise to strengthen your body, avoiding sexual intercourse and soaking baths during menstruation, avoiding contact with cold water, and avoiding spicy and cold foods are all helpful. It is suggested that you drink brown sugar water during dysmenorrhea, as brown sugar is warm and beneficial.
