What tests are needed for primary dysmenorrhea?

Patient's question:

Is primary dysmenorrhea not treatable? What tests should be done at the hospital for dysmenorrhea?

Doctor's answer:

Perform the necessary explanatory work to help alleviate patients' concerns and build their confidence. During menstrual cramps, rest in bed or apply a warm compress to the lower abdomen. Pay attention to menstrual hygiene. Non-specific painkillers can be taken, such as salicylates, which are effective for fever reduction and pain relief.
2. Oral contraceptives are suitable for patients with menstrual cramps who need contraception, with a success rate of over 90%. Contraceptives can inhibit ovulation, reduce the content of prostaglandins, vasopressin, and oxytocin in menstrual blood, and suppress uterine activity.
