Patient's question:
Since 2007, I have experienced abdominal pain during menstruation, with the period lasting 10 to 15 days. The flow is light, accompanied by abdominal pain. I have visited many hospitals, including Xiangya Hospital, and have taken a lot of Chinese and Western medicine.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, sometimes even radiating to the lumbar sacral region. The pain typically recurs with each menstrual cycle. 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, physiotherapy, and massage. Irregular menstruation not only affects a woman's quality of life but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to visit a gynecology department in the hospital for a vaginal discharge test to identify the underlying cause and receive targeted treatment. In daily life, pay attention to dietary adjustments, consuming light and easily digestible foods, while avoiding spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
