Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. Please advise on how to treat the symptoms of chills and abdominal pain during menstruation.Doctor's answer:
Hello, dysmenorrhea refers to pain in the lower abdomen or lower back during a woman's menstrual period and even in the days leading up to or following it. It is recommended not to overexert yourself during your period and to avoid excessive stress, while maintaining a positive attitude, which can help alleviate dysmenorrhea. Additionally, you can buy motherwort effervescent tablets from a pharmacy for oral use, as they may provide some relief.The causes of dysmenorrhea may include conditions such as endometriosis, among other reasons. It is essential to visit a hospital for examination and diagnosis to receive targeted treatment. Over-the-counter medications like Advil, Xiaoyao pills, and vitamin E can help relieve pain symptoms. Acupuncture can also be used to alleviate and treat pain.
