Patient's question:
This time, my menstrual blood is as red as ink, not the deep red it usually is; it's lighter. Why could this be? Every time it's the first day of my period that's painful, and taking one pain reliever helps. This time, even taking one and a half didn't work. Is there any fast-acting pain reliever?Doctor's answer:
Menstruation is affected by many factors. In your case, the first thing to consider is dysmenorrhea, which is commonly caused by reproductive organ abnormalities, endometriosis, and other reasons. 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 diseases.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 a gynecological 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.
