Doctor's answer:
Hello, the causes of dysmenorrhea are generally related to increased levels of prostaglandins in the endometrium and blood, and are also influenced by mental and neurological factors. Dysmenorrhea is a common issue among young women, often accompanied by symptoms such as cold hands and feet, aversion to cold, and pale complexion. Long-term dysmenorrhea can lead to conditions like uterine coldness and infertility or an increased risk of miscarriage. Therefore, women with dysmenorrhea should seek timely regulation and treatment to prevent the condition from worsening. Women with dysmenorrhea can take Qì and Xué Hé capsules to regulate their menstrual cycle. This medication has the functions of regulating menstruation, relieving pain, and warming and replenishing qi and blood. It is a pure herbal preparation and is quite effective in alleviating dysmenorrhea.
