Patient's question:
Daughter is 13 years old. Recently, her menstruation wasn't painful, but over the past two days, her abdomen has been very painful during her period, lasting for two or three days. I don't know the reason, but the pain stops after her period ends (I'm worried it might be related to digestive issues). Additionally, I've noticed that her period always comes at the wrong time—sometimes twice a month, or sometimes not for over a month, and it takes 6 or 7 days to clean up.Please ask the expert: Is this a normal phenomenon? How should I take care of her? How can I make her menstruation regular?
Can she drink brown sugar tea, fish soup, or similar things during her period? First question supplement: Please ask the daughter about her menstruation
Doctor's answer:
Hello: From the perspective of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), menstrual pain is often caused by qi stagnation and blood stasis, cold dampness stagnation, or a generally weak constitution. It is recommended to regulate with TCM for treating both the symptoms and the root cause. In this case, taking Dingkun Dan water pills for conditions like qi and blood deficiency, qi stagnation, and blood stasis-induced menstrual irregularity and dysmenorrhea can be quite effective. Pay attention to hygiene, frequently clean the perineum, and avoid raw, cold, icy, spicy, or other stimulating foods. Also, ensure warmth and avoid cold, greasy, and stimulating foods during medication.
