Patient's question:
My girlfriend has menstrual cramps. Every time she gets her period, she vomits and her stomach also hurts. Her lower abdomen aches when she gets cold, and the pain comes in waves.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the cause of dysmenorrhea is due to excessively high levels of prostaglandin synthesis in the endometrium, which leads to abnormal uterine contractions. There are many reasons that can cause dysmenorrhea: such as overeating cold and stimulating foods, as well as some gynecological diseases like endometriosis, adenomyosis, uterine fibroids, and pelvic inflammatory disease, which can also worsen the symptoms of dysmenorrhea. It is necessary to go to the hospital for examination and diagnosis before considering treatment, and never use medicine blindly.
