Patient's question:
I have had irregular periods since my first menstrual cycle. Every time, I experience severe menstrual cramps, and I have to take pain medication. Additionally, I often have a low menstrual flow and delayed periods. What could be causing these symptoms? Are they early signs of cancer?Doctor's answer:
During menstruation, if the symptoms of dysmenorrhea reappear, it may be related to gynecological inflammation. Drinking brown sugar water during the period can help alleviate the pain. If the dysmenorrhea persists for a long time, it is necessary to undergo a thorough examination to determine if it is caused by conditions such as pelvic inflammation or adenomyosis. For light menstrual flow, it is recommended to pay attention to menstrual hygiene and take regulating period medication for observation. It is best to check the thickness of the endometrium to ensure it is normal.
