Desired help: What is the actual illness? What medication would be most effective!
Doctor's answer:
1) Oral contraceptives that suppress ovulation can be used to relieve menstrual cramps, with an efficacy rate of over 90%. They are primarily suitable for patients who require contraception.2) Medications that inhibit uterine contractions can be taken continuously for 2-3 days before menstruation or after the onset of menstrual cramps. Examples include indomethacin suppositories, indomethacin tablets, ibuprofen, ketorolac, and mefenamic acid. The main side effects of these drugs are gastrointestinal reactions and allergic reactions. They are contraindicated in patients with gastrointestinal ulcers.
(3) Surgical treatment: This is only suitable for patients with severe, intractable menstrual cramps that do not respond to medication.
1) Cervical canal dilation: Suitable for postpartum patients with cervical stenosis. The cervical canal is dilated to sizes 6-8 using dilators to ensure smooth blood flow.
2) Nerve resection: Laparoscopic sacral anterior nerve resection surgery may be considered for severe, intractable menstrual cramps. The effect is good, but there are certain complications.
