Patient's question:
The menstrual period is relatively normal, the amount is also acceptable, with blood clots. Before menstruation, there is stomach pain, lower back pain, sometimes nausea, cold hands and feet, and easily angered. Even in summer, I still hold a hot water bag. My arms and legs feel tired and sore, and when I feel uncomfortable, I want to poke myself with a needle. I also suffer from insomnia.Doctor's answer:
