Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. What should I do about low menstrual flow and abdominal pain?Doctor's answer:
If the menstrual flow is excessive, changing a pad or tampon quickly leads to it getting soaked through again, or even the blood flowing down the leg. This is not normal. Excessive menstrual flow may be caused by functional uterine bleeding due to factors such as excessive mental stress, environmental changes, malnutrition, and metabolic disorders. Long-term excessive menstrual flow can lead to anemia. It is important to identify the cause and seek treatment.Irregular menstruation not only affects a person's health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to visit a gynecology department in the hospital for a vaginal discharge examination. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. Additionally, it is important to pay attention to personal hygiene and keep the vulvar area clean.
