Patient's question:
Lower abdominal pain during menstruation, chills, easily agitated emotions, occasional chest tightness and shortness of breathDoctor's answer:
From the situation you described, primary consideration should be given to dysmenorrhea, but inflammation should also be taken into account. Severe lower abdominal and bilateral pain occurring during menstruation that naturally subsides after the period is known as dysmenorrhea. Most cases of dysmenorrhea occur during menstruation, while some may appear a few days before the period. The characteristics of abdominal pain are closely related to menstruation, as the pain does not occur if menstruation does not take place. Dysmenorrhea can be classified into two types: primary and secondary. Primary dysmenorrhea refers to abdominal pain that begins from the onset of menstruation, while secondary dysmenorrhea refers to menstrual pain that appears after several years or even decades of menstruation. The causes of the two types of dysmenorrhea are different. Primary dysmenorrhea is often caused by factors such as a narrow cervix or underdeveloped uterine development, while secondary dysmenorrhea is usually caused by diseases, such as endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, or pelvic congestion. It is recommended to undergo examinations to determine the cause of dysmenorrhea and then treat the condition accordingly.
