Doctor's answer:

Hello! There are many reasons that can cause menstrual abnormalities, such as psychological factors, nutritional status, environmental and climatic factors, endocrine disorders, gynecological diseases, and medications. It is recommended to go to the hospital for relevant treatment, such as gynecological examinations, ultrasounds, and six sex hormone tests, to identify the cause and provide symptomatic treatment.
Lifestyle care should pay attention to personal hygiene. Post-menstrual bleeding accompanied by lower back pain and lower abdominal pain may be considered: acute cervical inflammation and pelvic inflammatory disease.
Advice: Based on the situation you described, in general, discomfort caused by pelvic congestion during menstruation usually subsides on its own after the period. However, since you are experiencing lower back and abdominal pain after menstruation, it is necessary to consider whether cervical inflammation has worsened or whether there is an acute attack of pelvic inflammatory disease.
It is recommended to visit the hospital for an ultrasound and vaginal examination. The results of these tests will be highly targeted, allowing for early diagnosis and treatment, which can lead to a quick recovery.
Treatment for this condition typically takes about 7-10 days and can produce noticeable results. In the meantime, you can use a hot water bag for relief, avoid getting cold, and refrain from consuming spicy, acidic, or irritating foods. Rest is also important.
Wishing you good health!
