How to treat primary dysmenorrhea

Patient's question:

At 38, the first day of my period is extremely painful, and it has been like this since I was 18.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, as you mentioned, there are basically no good treatments for primary dysmenorrhea. During menstrual cramps, you can use warm water compresses on the lower abdomen to promote blood circulation and reduce pain; you can also drink some brown sugar ginger tea to accelerate the flow of menstrual blood and alleviate pain. If the pain is unbearable, you can take pain relievers such as ibuprofen, indomethacin, or 654-2.
