Patient's question:
The first time I had my period, it wasn't painful, but after about a year, it became unbearably painful. I went to the hospital, had an ultrasound, and the result was excessive pelvic fluid. I haven't had any sexual activity.Doctor's answer:
In your case, the pain during menstruation may be caused by cold deficiency. During the menstrual period and its surrounding days, you may experience pain in the lower abdomen or lower back, which can even radiate to the lumbar and sacral regions. 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.Consideration of treatments such as acupuncture, physiotherapy, and massage may be beneficial. The occurrence of menstrual irregularities not only affects a woman's life but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is recommended to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a vaginal discharge examination to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Additionally, it is important to drink more water and maintain good personal hygiene.
