Women with dysmenorrhea caused by damp-heat can drink sugared water. It is best to visit a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) department for examination and medication adjustment. Medications such as Yuanhu Zhitong Pian or Tongjing Wan may be used for treatment. If you suffer from dysmenorrhea, it is recommended to keep your lower abdomen warm, avoid catching colds, and refrain from eating cold foods. Soaking your feet in hot water regularly can help reduce the occurrence of menstrual pain. Additionally, using a heat patch on the lower abdomen can help alleviate symptoms of dysmenorrhea.
