Patient's question:

Sexual pain, dysmenorrhea,

Doctor's answer:

Your condition may be caused by cold deficiency, leading to menstrual cramps. During the menstrual period and its surrounding days, pain may occur in the lower abdomen or lower back, sometimes even radiating to the lumbar-sacral region. 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.
