Patient's question:
Is it better to take Chinese medicine or Western medicine for menstrual cramps? When women experience menstrual cramps, is it better to take Western medicine or Chinese medicine?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, for menstrual pain caused by uterine cold, or severe consequences of endocrine disorders, or menstrual pain due to cold exposure during the period, it is important not to let the pain continue. Drinking some traditional Chinese medicine for regulation and undergoing uterine warming treatments are usually more effective than Western medicine. Once regulated, it won’t affect future childbirth. Therefore, how to treat it, communicate more with your doctor, and don’t make decisions or use medication on your own.
