Patient's question:
All symptoms: For the two days before the monthly menstrual period, I cannot stand for too long, and sometimes even squatting to use the toilet feels like a lower abdomen fullness and pain. There is no abnormal sensation when standing.Onset time and cause: Since giving birth and getting an IUD, I have never had this issue before. Treatment history: I have taken Bu Zhong Yi Qi pills, but I only took two or three bottles each time.
Help needed: Is there a better treatment method available?
Doctor's answer:
Pelvic floor muscle exercises and physical therapy: Instruct patients to perform anal sphincter contractions, also known as kegel exercises, by contracting the muscles for more than 3 seconds and then relaxing. Repeat for 10–15 minutes each session, 2–3 times daily.Preventive use of pessary: Supports the uterus to keep it in place within the vagina without prolapse, suitable for patients who are not candidates for surgery, during pregnancy, and postpartum. Placement before surgery can promote healing of ulcers on the prolapsed surface.
Traditional Chinese medicine treatment: Utilizes herbal medicine (Buchong Yiqi Decoction) and acupuncture therapy to restore pelvic floor muscle tone and alleviate local symptoms.
