Patient's question:
Last month, before my period, I always felt bloated and had a slightly painful sensation, like mild menstrual cramps but not really painful. I also urinated more, had normal bowel movements, but just felt bloated in my lower abdomen. Drinking brown sugar water didn't help, and I didn't dare to take any medicine randomly. Is bloating before menstruation a gynecological problem?Doctor's answer:
Recurring symptoms of abdominal bloating before menstruation may be related to premenstrual syndrome (PMS). It is likely associated with symptoms caused by pelvic congestion. It is recommended that you apply cold compresses to relieve abdominal bloating and pain, and avoid consuming excessive cold foods. Drinking brown sugar ginger tea can also help alleviate the symptoms. If the bloating and pain are severe, it is important to undergo a thorough examination to determine if they are caused by pelvic inflammation or appendicitis, and to use medication promptly for anti-inflammatory treatment. In addition to active treatment, gynecological patients should pay attention to maintaining a proper diet in daily life to digest nutrients well. I hope the above answer can help you. Thank you!
