Patient's question:
Every time my period comes, it's very painful. My entire waist and below it feels sore and weak. The menstrual blood flow is quite heavy.I always take Huiren's Black Chicken White Flower Pills, and the condition improves.
Am I always experiencing menstrual pain because I'm sick??
I heard that having sexual intercourse can help alleviate it. Is that true???
I also heard that sperm is beneficial for women. Is that true? Thank you!
Doctor's answer:
Dysmenorrhea occurs due to excessively high levels of prostaglandins synthesized by the endometrium, leading to abnormal uterine contractions. Clinically, it is divided into 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. It is also referred to as functional dysmenorrhea, such as: psychological factors, uterine maldevelopment, excessive anteroposterior flexion of the uterus, etc.
Secondary dysmenorrhea usually occurs two years or more after menarche and is caused by pelvic organic lesions, such as: pelvic inflammatory disease, adnexitis, parametritis, endometriosis, adenomyosis, uterine fibroids.
It is recommended that you seek medical attention promptly for examination and diagnosis, and actively treat the condition.
