Patient's question:
Health Consultation Description: My daughter started her period at the age of 12. Initially, it didn't hurt at all. Since she was 14, during certain periods, the first day of her period became extremely painful. During tutoring sessions, she couldn't sit still at all. Usually, after returning home from tutoring, she would drink brown sugar and Motherwort granules, and the pain would subside after about half an hour. The amount of blood flow was also not very heavy. A few days ago, she took traditional Chinese medicine for ten days, but after finishing it, her condition did not stabilize. Should she continue taking the traditional Chinese medicine? What caused this? What kind of medicine can be effective and reliable?Doctor's answer:
The causes of dysmenorrhea are very complex. It is recommended that you should see a doctor. Common causes include gynecological inflammation and adenomyosis of the uterus. Only after a thorough examination can targeted solutions be provided. Pay close attention not to have sexual intercourse or take baths during the menstrual period. Avoid contact with cold water and washing cold feet to prevent irritation. Also, avoid consuming spicy foods. You can try drinking brown sugar water. Brown sugar is warm in nature and has a warming effect. It can help open up the meridians, aid in the elimination of the menstrual period, and alleviate dysmenorrhea.
