Patient's question:
Doctor, hello! I am not married, and I have had irregular periods all along. Every time it's not on time, the amount is also quite low, and my stomach hurts very much. Later, after a thorough examination, it was said that it was menstrual disorder and the uterus was small. No medicine was prescribed for me to take home. How should I deal with menstrual disorder and a small uterus?Doctor's answer:
At your age, the uterine volume is small, which is likely due to an immature uterus with congenital uterine developmental abnormalities. This condition is related to congenital growth and development factors, and there are basically no effective methods to stabilize its size in the later stage. If it is relatively small, it generally does not cause significant issues.Regarding menstrual cramps, it is considered to be caused by the uterus being small or a decrease in prostaglandin levels in the body, leading to spasmodic contractions of the uterus during menstruation and the resulting pain from the flow of menstrual blood. This type of pain can usually be stabilized after marriage and childbirth.
During periods of recurring menstrual pain, you can take appropriate pain-relieving medication or drink ginger and brown sugar tea while simultaneously applying cold compresses to the abdomen to help alleviate the pain.
