Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? How can women with menstrual pain relieve their pain?Doctor's answer:
Dysmenorrhea occurs due to excessively high levels of prostaglandin synthesis in the endometrium, causing abnormal uterine contractions. Clinically, it is classified as primary dysmenorrhea and secondary dysmenorrhea. It is a common gynecological condition.Primary dysmenorrhea typically occurs within the first year after menarche and is not associated with pelvic organic lesions, also known as functional dysmenorrhea. Examples include psychological factors, uterine maldevelopment, or excessive anteroposterior flexion of the uterus.
Secondary dysmenorrhea usually occurs more than 2 years after menarche and is caused by pelvic organic lesions, such as:
1. Pelvic inflammation, adnexitis, or parametritis.
2. Endometriosis or 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 pills can help alleviate the pain. Wishing you good health!
