Patient's question:
After ovulation induction and egg retrieval, severe pain on the left side during menstruationDoctor's answer:
Hello; Dysmenorrhea is a problem that many women encounter. Some experience mild symptoms, while others suffer from very severe pain. At its core, it is mainly caused by poor blood flow due to uterine cold, which is closely related to your previous consumption of cold foods during or before your period, exposure to cold, or indulging in coolness during summer. Treating dysmenorrhea should start with warmth and uterine warming. First, address the root cause. During periods of dysmenorrhea, you can use a hot water bag to warm your lower abdomen, drink more brown sugar water, and pay attention to wearing warm clothing. Then, address the root cause by consulting a traditional Chinese medicine doctor and taking herbal prescriptions that nourish the yang energy. Taking them for a period of time will yield significant effects.
