What's wrong with abnormal menstrual color?

Patient's question:

This month, my menstrual blood is the color of red ink, not the usual dark red, but rather lighter. Why could this be? Every time it's the first day of my period that causes cramps, and taking one pain reliever helps alleviate it. This time, even taking one and a half didn't work. Is there any fast-acting pain reliever available?

Doctor's answer:

Menstruation is affected by many factors. In your case, the first thing to consider is dysmenorrhea, which is commonly caused by factors such as genital malformations or endometriosis. If it affects your work and daily life, it is important to seek medical treatment early. Additionally, I don't know if you are sexually active. If you are, it is necessary to rule out related conditions.
Irregular menstruation not only affects a woman's physical health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a vaginal examination at the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. In daily life, you should drink more water and pay attention to personal hygiene.
