What foods are good for dysmenorrhea? Can dysmenorrhea be treated with painkillers?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor'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 pain in the lower abdomen or lower back, which can even radiate 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. Consideration can be given to treatments such as acupuncture, physiotherapy, and massage.
