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 my fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of coldness. If I eat something cold or spicy during my period and get a stomach ache, what should I do?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 region. The pain typically 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.Consideration of treatments such as acupuncture, physiotherapy, and massage may be beneficial.
Hello, if you often experience fullness, swelling, and pain in your breasts before your period, particularly around the outer edges and nipple area, and these symptoms gradually disappear with the onset or cessation of menstruation, this is likely premenstrual tension syndrome (PMS). This is a normal physiological phenomenon and generally does not require treatment. Please do not overworry.
