Patient's question:
I always get stomach pain before my period, and the pain is severe. During the pain, I also have diarrhea. The pain starts when my period comes, and every time it's so excruciating that I feel like I'm dying. That's why I always take painkillers. It's really terrifying to experience this kind of pain every month.What kind of help I need: How to treat primary dysmenorrhea?
Doctor's answer:
Dysmenorrhea is one of the most common gynecological symptoms, referring to lower abdominal pain, pressure, or heaviness that occurs before or during menstruation, accompanied by lower back pain or other discomforts, which significantly affects quality of life. Dysmenorrhea is divided into two types: primary and secondary. Primary dysmenorrhea refers to menstrual pain without any organic inflammation of the reproductive organs, accounting for more than 90% of dysmenorrhea cases. Secondary dysmenorrhea is caused by pelvic organic diseases. Pay attention to preventing colds; during menstruation, a woman's body is often very sensitive to cold.
