Patient's question:
For the past ten years or so, every time I get my period, my menstrual flow has been very light, and during that time, my lower back also aches. Is it possible that the light flow and lower back pain are signs of menstrual disorder? What should I do if I have a menstrual disorder? Besides the light flow and lower back pain, do women with menstrual disorders have other symptoms?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the description you provided, it seems that your menstrual flow is relatively light, and you are experiencing lower back pain. The first consideration is that you may have irregular menstruation. It is recommended that you visit a local hospital to have a gynecological ultrasound and hormone level check. This will help diagnose whether you have pelvic inflammatory disease or abnormal hormone levels. It is advised that you follow the doctor's instructions for medication treatment. Strictly avoid spicy and irritating foods, pay attention to preventing colds, and drink more water. A positive mood is very helpful for the recovery of the illness.
