Question

A 13-year-old experiences left-sided abdominal pain and vomiting every time she has her period, making it impossible for her to eat or drink. She has undergone an ultrasound in the local area, which confirmed a small amount of fluid in the left ovary and pelvic area (at the time of the ultrasound, it was during her menstrual period).

Answer

Dysmenorrhea and dry vomiting may be related to coldness and poor blood circulation. It is recommended to drink red sugar ginger water during menstruation, use heat patches, and consider taking medications like Yueyue Shu for adjustment. Special attention should be paid to staying warm, especially during menstruation. If necessary, seek traditional Chinese medicine for constitutional differentiation and adjustment. These suggestions are for the question “What should I do if a 13-year-old has left-sided abdominal pain and vomiting during menstruation?” I hope this helps you, and wish you good health!
