Patient's question:
My girlfriend always has menstrual cramps. Every month when her period comes, she gets cramps. Her period is regular, but she starts feeling pain a day before it arrives and it lasts for two or three days. The pain is so severe that she can only lie in bed and rest. How severe are the cramps with Aunt Flo?Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, considering his age, it is likely to be primary dysmenorrhea. Primary dysmenorrhea is mainly caused by an increase in prostaglandin levels in the body. Secondary dysmenorrhea is mainly caused by endometriosis or adenomyosis. After the menstrual period is over, go to the hospital for examination. If it is primary dysmenorrhea, painkillers can be taken orally during the menstrual cramps. The worst thing is to go to work, go to school, and be on the street. The pain basically becomes a hallucination, and you can't hear anything around you.
