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. Can women with adenomyosis drink soy milk?Doctor's answer:
Your condition may be caused by cold deficiency, leading to menstrual cramps. During the menstrual period and its surrounding days, you may experience pain in the lower abdomen or lower back, sometimes even radiating to the lumbar sacral area. The pain recurs with each menstrual cycle, and in severe cases, it may be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, profuse cold sweat, cold hands and feet, or even fainting. Acupuncture, physiotherapy, and massage are methods that can be considered for treatment.After giving birth, you can prepare soups like pork trotters with Danggui, papaya pork trotter soup, cuttlefish pork trotter soup, peanut pork bone soup, crucian carp pork bone soup, walnut pork bone soup, and chicken with jujubes and Bei Qi. These foods are known to increase milk production. Additionally, drink plenty of jujube water and chicken soup—just by drinking more fluids, your milk supply will improve.
Danggui has the effect of promoting breast milk flow.
