Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Can menstrual cramps cause gynecological diseases?Doctor's answer:
Your condition may be caused by cold deficiency, leading to menstrual cramps. During the menstrual period and its surrounding days, you may experience pain in the lower abdomen or lower back, which can even radiate to the lumbar sacral region. The pain typically recurs with the menstrual cycle, and in severe cases, it may be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, profuse cold sweat, cold hands and feet, or even fainting.Consider treatments such as acupuncture, physical therapy, and massage. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects a woman's physical health but can also lead to further gynecological issues. Therefore, it is best to visit a gynecology department in the hospital for a check-up. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment can be administered. Additionally, pay attention to personal hygiene and maintain cleanliness in the perineal area.
