What should I do if painkillers don't work for menstrual cramps?

Patient's question:

Each month, the period is painful

Doctor's answer:

Hello! In terms of the symptom of menstrual cramps, your condition is dysmenorrhea. However, there are many causes of dysmenorrhea, and I don't know your menstrual flow and other details each time, so I can only make a rough inference. If you have severe dysmenorrhea but no underlying issues have been detected, it is likely primary dysmenorrhea with no organic lesions. You can take pain relievers or undergo TCM moxibustion on the navel. This therapy hasn't been widely promoted yet, but it is indeed very effective.
