Doctor's answer:

Hello. Dysmenorrhea is caused by the synthesis of prostaglandins in the endometrium, which leads to strong contractions of the uterus. Generally, mild cases can be relieved by warming, avoiding spicy and cold foods, among other measures. If the pain is severe and does not subside, pathological factors cannot be ruled out, such as: uterine fibroids, adenomyosis, endometriosis, or pelvic inflammatory disease, all of which may exacerbate dysmenorrhea. It is recommended that you visit a gynecological department in the hospital for relevant examinations to identify and treat the condition accordingly.
In terms of treatment, it is advisable to use Yuanhu Zhizhong Pian (Tianma Gouteng Pian) or Dysmenorrhea Pills for better results. Avoid raw and cold foods, as well as greasy foods. Maintain a calm mood, avoid irritability, and actively exercise to enhance your body's resistance.
