Can women have red light therapy during their period?

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 have red light therapy during my period?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, during menstruation, it is important to rest and maintain proper nutrition. Pay attention to keeping warm, especially the perineum. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, and refrain from smoking and alcohol. Try to minimize physical activity to prevent an increase in menstrual flow. Adequate sleep is beneficial for restoring the cycle.
Psychological factors, emotional fluctuations, changes in the environment, pregnancy, age, diseases, medications, and nutritional status can all cause dysfunction of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, leading to menstrual abnormalities.
It is recommended that you visit a hospital for ultrasound, routine cervical discharge tests, and other examinations to determine if there are any organic causes. Then, undergo hormone tests to assess the endocrine status and identify the underlying reasons for the condition, followed by symptomatic treatment.
