Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? What Chinese medicine should I take for breast tenderness before my period?Doctor's answer:
According to the symptoms you mentioned, it is mainly caused by qi stagnation, leading to premenstrual breast tenderness and pain. Treatment should focus on soothing the liver, regulating qi, and resolving stagnation. You can take Danzhi Xiaoyao Powder (modified) and maintain a relaxed mood.Your condition may be caused by cold deficiency, resulting in dysmenorrhea. During the menstrual period and its surrounding days, pain may occur in the lower abdomen or lower back, sometimes even extending to the lumbar sacral region. The pain recurs with each menstrual cycle. In severe cases, it may be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, profuse cold sweat, cold hands and feet, or even fainting. Acupuncture, physical therapy, and massage can be considered for treatment.
