Patient's question:
I have severe menstrual cramps every time I have my period, and they are usually delayed by a few days every two months. I want to go to the hospital to get checked and regulated, but I'm wondering whether to go when I'm feeling uncomfortable or wait until it's gone. When will my period disappear?Doctor's answer:
If you have menstrual cramps and want to go to the hospital to check what is causing them, it is best to do the examination after your period is clean. The main examination is a gynecological double-contrast examination to understand whether there is inflammation in the pelvic cavity. It is also recommended to have an ultrasound examination to rule out the possibility of endometriosis. Moreover, through the ultrasound examination, it can also be found whether the uterus is deformed. Based on the results, the corresponding treatment can be given. However, if it is suspected that there is adenomyosis, and it is not very clear through ultrasound examination when the period is clean, you can go to the hospital on the second day of your period, which is the day with the most flow, to do the examination. Through ultrasound examination, it can be understood that there are many liquid dark areas in the uterine muscle layer, which can then diagnose adenomyosis. Therefore, it is necessary to do the examination on the day with the most flow.
