Can I Get Pregnant if My Period Cramps Happen Frequently?
Female, 25 years old, waist and abdominal pain during menstruation.
Three years ago, when I began to work, my menstrual cycle, especially in winter, has become irregular and I experience various physical changes like cramps in the lower abdomen, body fatigue, and a painful waist. Sometimes, I have to lie on the bed for a whole day because of the severe cramps in the abdomen, accompanied by vomiting and cold sweat. At first, I thought that I can endure these pains without treatment, however, the symptoms seem to be gradually getting worse and have an effect on my normal life. I prepare to get married soon and would like to know whether menstrual cramps can impact pregnancy?

Based on what you have described, I suggest you firstly undergo tests to find out what lies behind the menstrual cramps as they can be caused by primary dysmenorrhea and secondary dysmenorrhea as well as by tumours or other gynaecological diseases. Fortunately, the menstrual cramps experienced by over 90% of women belong to primary dysmenorrhea which can be cured by adjusting the lifestyle and taking a medicinal tonic.
The symptoms of menstrual cramps can be relieved without any treatment for women after giving birth, but there is no reason why women should endure the pain for a long time beforehand so it is best to seek medical advice as soon as you can.
When menstrual cramps suddenly start at home, taking atropine* and valium* can temporarily relieve the pain but can’t resolve the root of it. However, traditional Chinese medicine with thousands of years of history can treat the root cause by adjusting the qi and blood in your body.
For most females with mild symptoms, menstrual cramps can be prevented or treated through a healthy diet and lifestyle change.
Here are further helpful tips for your reference:
• Avoid spicy food: Spicy food can lead to heavy menstruation and menstrual cramps.
• Try not to touch or drink cold water: The coldness can attack your body and lead to blood stagnation, thus inducing menstrual cramps.
• Drink warm brown sugar water: The brown sugar water can stimulate the blood circulation and accelerate the elimination of the menstruation.
Moreover, doctors can diagnosis if it is appropriate for you to be pregnant according to the test reports.
