Patient's question:
This month, I had my period with dizziness, stomach pain, and nausea. My menstrual cycle is irregular, and the flow is also a bit light. However, the dizziness is particularly severe, and I feel completely exhausted. What could be the reason? What kind of medication should I take? How should I take care of myself?Doctor's answer:
Your symptoms include dysmenorrhea, with severe lower abdominal pain and symptoms such as lower back pain, nausea, and vomiting occurring before or during menstruation. This is a common condition among women. It is important to identify the cause of the dysmenorrhea. If it is primary dysmenorrhea, active treatment of the underlying condition should be initiated. If it is caused by cervical stenosis, cervical dilation surgery may be effective. If it is due to endocrine disorders, hormonal regulation should be implemented. Rest well, pay attention to keeping warm, and use a hot water bag. For gynecological patients, in addition to immediate treatment, it is also necessary to focus on self-care training, such as paying close attention to personal hygiene and avoiding sexual activity during medication.
