Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
In your case, the menstrual pain may be caused by cold deficiency. During the menstrual period and its surrounding days, you may experience lower abdominal or waist pain, which can even radiate to the lumbar-sacral region. The pain recurs with the menstrual cycle. In severe cases, it may be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, profuse cold sweat, cold hands and feet, or even fainting. Acupuncture, physiotherapy, and massage are methods that can be considered for treatment.
