Patient's question:
Female, 20, started experiencing menstrual cramps in the past year, which have become increasingly severe. She has undergone an ultrasound, and the results showed no issues with her uterus. Her periods are regular every month, but only the first day is accompanied by cramps. After that, everything is fine. During the pain, she experiences vomiting and sweating profusely, with severe pain in her thighs and lower abdomen.Doctor's answer:
Menstrual pain is mainly due to poor blood and qi circulation! Drinking ginger tea or pepper soup can promote blood and qi flow, alleviating menstrual cramps. You can use a hot water bag or buy a self-heating sand bag from a pharmacy to apply externally to the lower abdomen. This is very comfortable and provides immediate relief, reducing pain.Irregular menstruation not only affects a woman's physical health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. It is best to visit a gynecologist for a vaginal discharge test to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. In daily life, it is important to drink more water and maintain good personal hygiene.
