Question: I'm 44 years old, and every time my period starts two days beforehand, I get abdominal pain. Why does the pain sometimes worsen when exposed to cold air? What medication should I take?

Answer: This is also called dysmenorrhea, indicating qi stagnation and blood stasis. From a Western medical perspective, you may have had a pelvic infection, or at least residual pelvic blood stasis, known as pelvic blood stasis syndrome, requiring blood circulation and stasis removal. However, Western medicine lacks such treatment methods, while TCM excels in regulating qi, relieving depression, and promoting blood circulation and stasis removal.
