Patient's question:
I had my period at the age of 12 in elementary school. Every time I had it, it was heavy and very painful. Once in class, I almost fainted from the pain. In middle school, I mainly studied dance, and for those three years, I barely experienced any pain. Now that I don't study dance anymore, every time I have my period, it's very painful.Doctor's answer:
Generally, girls who have not yet reached adulthood may experience primary dysmenorrhea, which is mainly caused by academic pressure or emotional tension. It poses no harm to the body, but long-term dysmenorrhea can lead to various systemic symptoms. It is recommended to seek detailed medical examination and symptomatic treatment at a regular hospital as early as possible.The occurrence of primary dysmenorrhea not only affects women's health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo routine examinations at the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive symptomatic treatment. In daily life, dietary adjustments should be made, focusing on light and easily digestible foods. Spicy, stimulating, and cold foods should be avoided.
