Patient's question:
Seeking medical treatment at Lianlu Hospital, a long duration of illness; the main symptoms are dysmenorrhea and lower back pain.Doctor's answer:
Painful menstruation is caused by prostaglandin synthesis in the endometrium, leading to severe uterine contractions. If it is mild, it generally does not require treatment. However, some gynecological conditions, such as endometriosis, adenomyosis, uterine fibroids, and pelvic inflammatory disease, can also exacerbate menstrual pain. It is essential to avoid sexual intercourse and bathing during menstruation, as well as exposure to cold water and cold foot baths. Avoid consuming spicy and cold foods. You can try drinking brown sugar water; brown sugar is warm in nature and has a warming effect. It can help unblock meridians and facilitate the flow of menstruation.
