Dr. Lv Aiming
Most female patients experience menstrual pain due to the shedding of the uterine lining during menstruation, which releases prostaglandins that stimulate uterine contractions and cause abdominal pain. In such cases, drinking more hot ginger sugar water or brown sugar water can help promote the flow of energy through acupoints and alleviate menstrual discomfort. If organic abnormalities are ruled out, taking painkillers under a doctor's guidance may gradually relieve the symptoms.
