Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
In your case, the dysmenorrhea may be caused by cold deficiency. During the menstrual period and its surrounding days, pain in the lower abdomen or lower back may occur, sometimes even extending to the lumbar-sacral region. It recurs with the menstrual cycle, and in severe cases, it may be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, profuse sweating, cold extremities, or even fainting. Acupuncture, physiotherapy, and massage are methods that can be considered for treatment.
