Patient's question:
I always have pain during my period, especially in the first two days. The menstrual flow is heavy and accompanied by lower abdominal bloating and pain, and I also lose my appetite, which makes me feel very uncomfortable. I went to the hospital and was told it's primary dysmenorrhea, which is normal.Doctor's answer:
Hello, Western medicine treatment for primary dysmenorrhea can only treat symptoms, not the root cause. It is recommended to use traditional Chinese medicine for regulation. However, there are no very effective drugs for treating primary dysmenorrhea. Fenbid can relieve menstrual pain, taking 2 times a day, 1 pill each time. Long-term use is not good. But it will not lead to infertility or affect the uterus. It is recommended to switch to Angelica sinensis paste, starting 3 days before menstruation. It has no side effects.Additionally, pay attention to menstrual health care. Pay close attention to keeping warm before the period. Avoid cold water, as it will worsen dysmenorrhea. It is recommended to eat more warming foods for the uterus, such as longan, during daily life.
