Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Your condition may be caused by cold deficiency, leading to menstrual cramps. 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. In severe cases, it may be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, profuse cold sweat, cold hands and feet, or even fainting. Acupuncture, physical therapy, and massage are methods that can be considered for treatment.
