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. Can I take Motherwort Granules for menstrual cramps?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, which can even radiate to the lumbar sacral region. The pain typically recurs with the 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 helpful. For your situation, it is recommended to visit a hospital for examination, as it could be caused by menstrual irregularities. Treatment with a three-phase diet to artificially regulate the menstrual cycle, along with nutritional support and adequate rest, may be necessary.
