Patient's question:
Hello, I am 19 years old. My menstrual cycle is usually normal, but the cramps are very severe. Recently, I bought Gu Shu Wan in Hong Kong and heard it is effective. I would like to ask if it can be taken during the menstrual period.Doctor's answer:
Hello, dysmenorrhea is one of the most common symptoms among gynecological patients and is divided into primary and secondary types. Primary dysmenorrhea refers to periodic menstrual pain without any organic disease, and its cause is still unclear. Secondary dysmenorrhea is often associated with conditions such as endometriosis, uterine fibroids, pelvic inflammatory disease, adenomyosis, endometrial polyps, and menstrual outflow obstruction.For primary dysmenorrhea, symptoms can be relieved using Yuanhu Zhizhong tablets or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Secondary dysmenorrhea requires examination to identify the underlying cause and symptomatic treatment.
In daily life, it is important to maintain warmth, follow a balanced diet, supplement with vitamins appropriately, and engage in regular physical activity.
