Patient's question:
I have never experienced menstrual cramps when I used to have my period; it was always normal. But in the past few months, I don't know why my stomach always hurts when I have my period. It is said that it might be cervical erosion. Could you please tell me if cervical erosion can cause menstrual cramps?Doctor's answer:
Cervical erosion generally does not cause symptoms of dysmenorrhea, but it can affect the amount of menstrual flow. If dysmenorrhea symptoms reappear during menstruation, it is necessary to have a thorough examination to determine if it is caused by pelvic inflammatory disease or adenomyosis. After diagnosing the cause of dysmenorrhea, symptomatic treatment should be administered. Avoiding abdominal coldness and drinking brown sugar water can help alleviate dysmenorrhea. If cervical erosion is present, medication or surgical treatment is recommended. In addition to symptomatic treatment for cervical erosion, patients should also pay attention to nursing care, such as maintaining a light diet and avoiding spicy and irritating foods. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a top-tier hospital for treatment to ensure a good therapeutic effect.
