How to properly handle and recover from menstrual cramps

Patient's question:

I am 17 years old this year. When it hurts, I vomit. It only hurt on the first day, and the amount of blood was relatively small. By the second day, it didn't hurt much anymore, and the blood gushed out - - . When I was a child, I didn't take care of myself. When I came, I ate cold food and washed my hair with cold water. Now I have changed all that. During my period, I use hot water. Is this primary or secondary? Will eating motherwort eggs or traditional Chinese medicine have side effects? How can it be cured? My mother also had menstrual cramps before giving birth to me. Can this be inherited?

Doctor's answer:

Menstrual pain is generally associated with uterine cold, which is related to long-term neglect of warmth and improper diet leading to excessive body cold. Medication such as Ai Fu Nu Gong Wan can be taken to regulate it. It is important to pay attention to preventing cold and keeping warm, wearing enough clothes, avoiding overexertion, not eating cold foods, and not catching a cold. Persist in soaking feet with hot water.
Irregular menstruation not only affects a woman's life but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a B examination in the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. It is also important to drink more water and maintain personal hygiene.
