Patient's question:
All symptoms: Dysmenorrhea, vomiting during severe casesOnset time and cause: During menstruation
Treatment history: Tried Chinese medicine regulation, but it was ineffective. Western medicine only provides pain relief.
Help needed: Want to know the cause and warm relief methods.
Doctor's answer:
1. Taking painkillers: When menstrual cramps begin, women can take painkillers with milk or food. Painkillers take effect within 20-30 minutes and last for about 12 hours. This method is not recommended for long-term use. Alternatively, you can decoct 15 grams of motherwort, 30 grams of jujubes, and an appropriate amount of brown sugar, then take it once a day in the morning and evening.2. Massage method: The patient lies flat on the bed. First, warm both hands by rubbing them together, then place them on the lower abdomen. Massage from top to bottom 60-100 times, then from left to right 60-100 times, and finally make circular massages 60 times, until the local skin becomes flushed. Do this once in the morning and once in the evening. Alternatively, the patient can rub both palms together until they become warm, then massage the lower abdomen below the navel in a clockwise direction about 200 times. Or, press and rub the San Li and Sanyinjiao points for 1 minute each.
