Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. What are the dangers of uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
Dysmenorrhea occurs due to excessive synthesis of prostaglandins 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 known as functional dysmenorrhea. Examples include: psychological factors, uterine developmental abnormalities, excessive anteroposterior flexion of the uterus, etc.
Secondary dysmenorrhea usually occurs two years or more 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 visit a regular hospital for examination to confirm the cause and receive symptomatic treatment. Oral ibuprofen and Xiaoyao Pill can help alleviate the pain. Wishing you good health!
