Patient's question:
What causes lower back pain and abdominal pain during menstruation?Doctor's answer:
Menstrual cramps are often caused by blood stagnation or uterine spasms due to cold. Therefore, the most important measure during menstruation is to keep the abdomen warm.Using hot water bags or towels to apply heat to the abdomen can help alleviate the pain to some extent. Drinking more hot water can also promote blood circulation, ensuring the smooth flow of menstrual blood and reducing pain.
Additionally, you can drink brown sugar water or jujube water, which can help soothe the symptoms. It’s important to relax your emotions, as stress can worsen menstrual cramps.
