Patient's question:
At the age of fourteen, I started experiencing menstrual cramps when my period arrived. When I visited doctors, they all said it was primary dysmenorrhea. Here is the history of my treatment and its effectiveness: I went to many hospitals, but nothing seemed to help. I also consulted an elderly traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, who said I had primary dysmenorrhea, a weak body, cold spleen and stomach, and excessive liver fire. He recommended using traditional Chinese medicine to first nourish my body. Due to training reasons at the time, I only took the medicine for one month, and the results were quite good... Thank you all for your answers.Doctor's answer:
Primary dysmenorrhea often recurs in women with menstrual cycles after menopause, so they generally experience no symptoms or only mild discomfort in the first 1-2 years after menarche. Severe cramping pain typically recurs in young women 1-2 years after menarche. If regular menstrual cramps begin to recur or if cramping pain occurs again after age 25, other abnormal conditions should be considered. Primary dysmenorrhea generally does not interfere with fertility, but it should be actively treated. It often disappears spontaneously during labor or gradually diminishes with age after marriage.Lifestyle care: I suggest you continue with traditional Chinese medicine treatment to regulate your condition, as it may reduce the likelihood of future pregnancy. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
