Patient's question:
Patient Age:Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Mild pain on the left hip, which worsens before and after menstruation, but there is no pain when not menstruating. Unsure what might be wrong. Hoping to get some answers. Thank you.
Medical History: None
Doctor's answer:
Hello, there is pain in the left hip bone and coccyx. It becomes painful immediately after moving for a while, and bending over is also difficult. Additionally, the left leg is numb. Based on the symptoms you described, I suspect this is sciatica caused by a herniated intervertebral disc.It is recommended to consume more foods that boost qi and blood, or traditional Chinese medicine for regulating menstruation such as "Baiji White Phoenix Pills" (Wuzhicao Keli) and "Motherwort Granules." Drink more water, eat less spicy and irritating foods, pay attention to a balanced diet, and exercise more.
