Is it harmful to the body to take painkillers every time during menstrual cramps?

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. Please ask if taking painkillers every time during menstrual cramps is harmful to the body.

Doctor's answer:

Primary dysmenorrhea generally does not affect fertility, so there is no need to worry too much. However, it is recommended not to take painkillers during the month you are trying to conceive. It is also suggested that you consult a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner and try herbal medicine for regulation. The occurrence of menstrual disorders not only affects a woman's body but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a routine check-up in the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. In daily life, you should drink more water and pay attention to personal hygiene.
