Doctor's answer:
Hello, friend, based on your symptom description, you experience stomach pain every time you have your period. This is called dysmenorrhea. This condition is something that many women find very troublesome. Dysmenorrhea is divided into primary and secondary types. If you have been experiencing pain from the beginning, it is primary dysmenorrhea. For this type of pain, relief can be obtained through menstrual pain patches, oral pain relievers, and drinking ginger and brown sugar water. Avoid cold foods.
