What does menstrual cramps cause? I have chronic menstrual cramps, sometimes I feel like vomiting.

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

In your case, the pain may be caused by cold deficiency. During the menstrual period and its surrounding days, it may cause lower abdominal or waist pain, or even pain extending to the lumbar-sacral region. It recurs with the menstrual cycle, and in severe cases, it may be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, profuse cold sweat, cold hands and feet, or even fainting. Acupuncture, physiotherapy, and massage can be considered as treatment methods.
