Menstrual cramps and fatigue so severe I had to leave work early.
symptom
A woman in her 20s presented with menstrual pain as her main complaint. She had experienced a sharp, stabbing pain in her lower abdomen for the past day, accompanied by headache and nausea. She felt general fatigue and was so exhausted that she wanted to lie down. Her symptoms were particularly severe for 2-3 days during each menstrual cycle, and this time, they were interfering with her work, so she left early to come to the clinic. She had not previously visited any other medical institutions.

Treatment and progress
At the initial consultation, the patient had severe coldness in the lower abdomen and significant tension in the lower back. Acupressure points on both sides of the feet were treated to alleviate the coldness in the lower abdomen, and acupressure points on the lower back were used to relieve the stiffness. At the end of the treatment, the patient reported feeling warm and significantly lighter. The treatment was concluded after the first session.
Acupressure points used
Summary
For menstrual cramps accompanied by lower abdominal pain, headaches, nausea, and fatigue, treatment focused on coldness in the lower abdomen and tension in the lower back. By using acupressure points on the feet and lower back, improved body temperature and a feeling of lightness were achieved. This suggests a possible link between menstrual cramps and coldness in the lower abdomen and tension in the lower back.
