Patient's question:
I had an abortion in August and started using a coil afterward, which I will remove soon. However, for the past two months, I've been experiencing abdominal pain during my periods. What could be the reason? Before each period, I always feel uncomfortable, even before the period arrives.Doctor's answer:
In your case, the pain during menstruation may be caused by a deficiency of cold. 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. The pain recurs with each 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 can be considered as treatment methods.
