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 afraid of the cold. Could you please tell me what causes lower abdominal pain during menstruation?Doctor's answer:
The causes of dysmenorrhea are very complex, with common ones being gynecological inflammation and adenomyosis of the uterus. It is recommended that you visit a hospital for a detailed examination and, once a diagnosis is confirmed, receive targeted treatment. Regular physical exercise can help strengthen your body. Additionally, it is essential to avoid sexual intercourse and bathing during the menstrual period. Avoid contact with cold water and cold foot baths, and refrain from consuming spicy and cold foods. You can try drinking brown sugar water, as brown sugar is warm in nature and has a warming effect that can help unblock meridians and facilitate the flow of menstruation.
