Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? What symptoms occur during menstrual cramps?Doctor's answer:
Dysmenorrhea occurs due to excessively high levels of prostaglandin synthesis in the endometrium, leading to abnormal uterine contractions. Clinically, it is divided into primary dysmenorrhea and secondary dysmenorrhea. It is a common gynecological condition. Primary dysmenorrhea often occurs within one year after menarche, without pelvic organic lesions, and is also referred to as functional dysmenorrhea, such as: psychological factors, uterine maldevelopment, excessive anteroposterior flexion of the uterus, etc. Secondary dysmenorrhea often occurs two years after menarche and is caused by pelvic organic lesions, such as: 1. Pelvic inflammation, adnexitis, parametritis. 2. Endometriosis, adenomyosis of the uterus. 3. Uterine fibroids. Therefore, it is recommended that you go to a regular hospital for examination to confirm the cause and receive symptomatic treatment. Oral ibuprofen and Xiaoyao Pill can help alleviate the pain. Wish you good health!
