Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Also, why do I have menstrual cramp-like feelings when my period hasn't arrived yet?Doctor's answer:
In your case, the pain during menstruation may be caused by a deficiency of cold. 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 the menstrual cycle, and in severe cases, it may be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, profuse cold sweat, cold hands and feet, or even fainting. Acupuncture, physiotherapy, and massage are methods that can be considered for treatment. The occurrence of menstrual irregularities not only affects women's 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 then receive targeted treatment. Pay attention to dietary regulation in daily life, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoiding spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
