Patient's question:
My aunt said she has been experiencing abdominal bloating and pain recently, and this pain has persisted for a week. Today, I accompanied her to see a doctor, who said the abdominal bloating and pain were caused by irregular menstruation. What could cause irregular menstruation? What is the relationship between irregular menstruation and abdominal bloating and pain?Doctor's answer:
Irregular menstruation and abdominal distension and pain can be caused by various factors, such as chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, adnexitis, vaginitis, cervicitis, endometriosis, adenomyosis, uterine fibroids, and ovarian cysts, among others. These conditions may all lead to irregular menstruation and abdominal distension and pain. It is recommended to conduct a routine vaginal discharge test and undergo an immediate pelvic and adnexal MRI examination. Treatment should be administered based on the detailed examination results. Additionally, it is important to avoid cold exposure and prevent cooling down during daily life.
