How to deal with severe stomach pain during menstruation

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 can cause lower abdominal or lower back pain, sometimes even extending to the lumbar sacral area. The pain 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 for treatment.
