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'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Could you please explain why my abdomen is swollen like I'm pregnant?Doctor's answer:
This condition may be due to a weak spleen and stomach, primarily manifested as stomach bloating, stomach pain, belching, poor appetite, and fullness after meals. It can be regulated with Xiang Sha Liu Jun Wan, which may be effective. The diet should be light and avoid spicy foods.Progesterone plays a role in the reproductive process by stimulating uterine changes and promoting embryonic development by increasing blood flow to the reproductive system's blood vessels and tissues. After the egg is released from the ovary, it adheres to the uterus. Theoretically, the egg fuses with sperm to form an embryo. Progesterone is a hormone that can delay the shedding of the uterine lining (embryo implantation). If progesterone levels drop significantly in the early weeks of pregnancy, it may lead to a miscarriage.
