Patient's question:
Female, 19 years old, previously in good health. In recent months, her menstrual cycle has been irregular. Originally, she had her period on the 23rd of each month, but recently it has been occurring on the 2nd or 3rd, and it is particularly light. Sometimes, the flow is a reddish-brown color, and she experiences severe abdominal pain.Doctor's answer:
Pain during menstruation is generally related to uterine cold, which is often caused by long-term neglect of warmth and improper diet leading to excessive body cold. Medication can be taken to regulate this, such as Ai Fu Nu Gong Wan. It is important to pay attention to preventing cold and maintaining warmth, wear adequate clothing, avoid overexertion, and avoid consuming cold or raw foods. Additionally, it is recommended to soak feet in hot water consistently.
