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 also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. Is it normal for there to be a smell before menstruation?Doctor's answer:
In your case, it may be caused by an excess of stomach fire. When the stomach fire is strong, it is referred to as "stomach heat" in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), which indicates a problem in the regulation of internal organ qi and blood in the body. It is not a very serious illness. TCM uses the term "fire" to describe certain heat-related symptoms in the body. It is recommended to use Qingwei San (a herbal formula) with modifications for treatment. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects a woman's physical health but can also lead to the development of gynecological conditions. Therefore, it is best to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a leukorrhea test to identify the cause and then receive symptomatic treatment. In daily life, it is important to drink more water and pay attention to personal hygiene.
