What are the causes of dysmenorrhea?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and fear the cold. Could you please tell me what are the common causes of menstrual pain?

Doctor's answer:

Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that the primary pathogenesis of dysmenorrhea lies in the internal accumulation of pathogenic factors and the deficiency of menstrual blood, leading to impaired blood and qi circulation in the uterus, resulting in "pain due to obstruction" (""); or the uterus lacking nourishment, causing "pain due to lack of nourishment" (""). As a result, dysmenorrhea occurs. Deer placenta is warm in nature and has a remarkable therapeutic effect on menstrual blood deficiency, impaired circulation, and uterine coldness with aversion to cold. Qi movement promotes blood movement (""), making deer placenta the preferred pure natural animal medicine for treating dysmenorrhea caused by various reasons.
