Patient's question:
I can't determine which type of menstrual cramps I have. During my period, I experience bloated stomach pain and extremely sore lower back. Each time, my menstrual flow contains blood clots. I don't feel like eating and can't engage in normal exercise. The past two days, I've only wanted to lie in bed. Previously, my period lasted only 3-4 days, but now it's about 7 days. Could you please tell me what could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
Some are caused by mental stress, while others are not. If you're not sure which type you have, I recommend seeing a gynecologist. Personally, I think it's better to consult a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. Ask the doctor for advice and then treat accordingly.
