Dysmenorrhea – Your body’s alarm bell

When a girl reaches the age of 14, ovulation and menstruation will commence as part of her normal physiology. This is a natural phenomenon. However, for some girls, menstruation is accompanied with heavy bleeding and pain, such as lower abdominal cramps, lower back pain, headaches, neckaches, that adversely affect their daily life.

有些人結婚都一段時日了,而痛經依然,這時候西醫會說,生過小孩之後就自然會好,等到小孩都要小學畢業了,痛經如昔,

這時候西醫又出來說,再多過幾年,停經之後自然會好,那不是廢話連篇嗎?
