Patient's question:
I am the type of person who experiences menstrual cramps every month. Especially in the first two years after my period started, I would suffer so much pain each time that I had to take pain relievers. Now I am pregnant and planning for a cesarean section. So, I would like to ask the doctor, how can menstrual cramps still occur after a cesarean section for someone who experiences them? Will it be worse?Doctor's answer:
Primary dysmenorrhea patients may experience increased menstrual pain during labor, but secondary dysmenorrhea patients may not have significant stability or worsening. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a thorough examination to identify the cause, provide symptomatic treatment, and prevent the condition from worsening. Secondary dysmenorrhea often occurs after the first menstrual period, caused by pelvic organic inflammation, such as pelvic inflammatory disease, adnexitis, parametritis, endometriosis, adenomyosis, and uterine fibroids. Cesarean section patients, in addition to active treatment, should also pay attention to maintaining deep sleep in daily life. Sufficient deep sleep can help you recover quickly from this condition. I hope the above information can assist you.
