Patient's question:
What should I do if I get pregnant? The harm is relatively small. Is it ineffective to take birth control pills for menstrual pain? Can I use Mirena?Doctor's answer:
Your condition may be caused by cold deficiency, leading to menstrual cramps. During the menstrual period and its surrounding days, pain may occur in the lower abdomen or lower back, 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 cold sweat, cold hands and feet, or even fainting. Acupuncture, physical therapy, and massage are methods that can be considered for treatment. In fact, under normal circumstances, practicing any form of contraception can cause some harm to the patient. Therefore, patients should pay attention to self-care. For those using contraception, self-care should be noted, such as keeping warm and avoiding contact with cold water.
