Patient's question:
After every menstrual period, the pain starts to occur three or four hours later. The flow is not heavy, the color is dark, and it is mainly lower abdominal pain. The whole body feels weak and tired, especially the waist and legs, making it uncomfortable to stand or lie down. These symptoms mainly occur on the first day of the period and are relieved by the second day. At first, I thought the menstrual cramps were due to an allergy to scented sanitary pads, but they have persisted for almost two years now. Additionally, with the menstrual cramps, there is breast tenderness three to two days before the period, bad mood, and a tendency to get mouth ulcers.Others told me it might be related to psychological factors. I used to be a very stressed person.
Doctor's answer:
Hello: The symptoms you described are difficult to diagnose, so it is better for you to visit a local traditional Chinese medicine hospital. Sorry.
