Patient's question:
All symptoms: Dysmenorrhea, vomiting during severe attacksOnset 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 Pain Relievers: When menstrual cramps begin, women can take pain relievers with milk or food. Pain relievers 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, morning and evening.2. Massage Method: The patient lies on their back. First, rub both hands together until warm, 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 morning and 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 Zusanli and Sanyinjiao points for 1 minute each.
