After taking emergency contraception, the abdominal pain on the day of menstruation was similar to menstrual cramps.

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

In your case, the menstrual pain may be caused by a deficiency of cold. 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 and sacral areas. The pain typically occurs with each menstrual cycle. 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, physical therapy, and massage.
