Patient's question:
I am 48 years old this year, and almost every time I have my period, I experience severe menstrual cramps. The pain is excruciating. I want to go through menopause early and no longer endure the torment of menstrual cramps. Although menopause can make women age more easily, I don't care. Doctor, how can a patient go through menopause early?Doctor's answer:
Considering the age of 48 and the relatively severe symptoms of dysmenorrhea, it is possible that conditions such as endometriosis, such as uterine adenomyosis or chocolate cysts of the ovaries, may be the cause. If early menopause is desired, oral progesterone receptor antagonists can be chosen, such as mifepristone. Additionally, drugs like triptorelin and danazol can also be taken for treatment. For anesthetic medications, gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists, such as leuprolide, can be used.
