Patient's question:
Menstrual flow is particularly light, not even one pad gets soaked through in a night. The abdomen pain is extremely severe. Sometimes taking pain relievers helps, but sometimes it even leads to dehydration, occasionally accompanied by vomiting. The lower abdomen and feet feel cold. It has been like this for several years, almost every month experiencing pain, occasionally there is a month without pain, and the timing is very regular.Doctor's answer:
In your case, the pain during menstruation may be caused by cold deficiency. During the menstrual period and its surrounding days, pain in the lower abdomen or lower back may occur, sometimes even extending to the lumbar-sacral region. The pain recurs with each menstrual cycle, and in severe cases, it may be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, profuse sweating, cold extremities, or even fainting. Acupuncture, physiotherapy, and massage are methods that can be considered for treatment. The occurrence of menstrual irregularities not only affects a woman's physical health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a vaginal discharge examination to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. In daily life, it is important to drink more water and pay attention to personal hygiene.
