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. Why does the chest hurt during menstruation?Doctor's answer:
In your case, it may be due to liver qi stagnation. Liver qi stagnation refers to a pattern characterized by impaired liver's function of dispersing and regulating, leading to qi stagnation as a result of insufficient dispersal. It is also known as liver qi depression syndrome, or simply liver depression syndrome. You may consider using Chai Hu Shu Gan San (Chai Hu Decoction for Relieving Liver Qi Stagnation) with modifications for treatment.Hello, common symptoms include excessive menstrual flow, scanty menstruation, frequent menstrual irregularities, unpredictable menstrual onset, menstrual oligomenorrhea (infrequent menstruation), menstrual polymenorrhea (frequent menstruation), and menstrual irregularity (irregular menstrual cycles, light flow, or mid-cycle bleeding). Massage therapy is recommended to prevent inflammation.
