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. What are the causes of menstrual cramps?Doctor's answer:
Dysmenorrhea is mostly characterized by abdominal pain before menstruation, which is often due to cold-induced blood stasis. It typically presents as severe cold abdominal pain in the lower abdomen and is best treated with warming, invigorating blood, and resolving stasis herbal formulas. Common over-the-counter Chinese medicines for this condition include Ai Fu Nu Gong Wan.Irregular menstruation not only affects a woman's quality of life but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is advisable to undergo a routine check-up in the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the underlying cause and receive targeted treatment. Additionally, maintaining good personal hygiene and keeping the vulvar area clean is important.
