Patient's question:
27 years old, married, experiencing pain in the lower left abdomen near the groin starting on the 3rd day of the menstrual cycle, with a pulling sensation and bloating in the lower abdomen. Visited the hospital for a check-up, but since the menstrual period had not yet ended, the vagina could not be examined. The doctor prescribed pain-relieving herbal decoctions. Additionally, recently, I often feel weak in my limbs and have excessive hair loss, with a noticeable decrease in hair volume. Previously, I did not experience menstrual cramps, but in the past year, I have had more frequent menstrual cramps. My menstrual cycle is generally regular, sometimes or a few days, with normal menstrual flow.Am I suffering from adnexitis? Or is it what people call kidney deficiency?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description, this is likely a symptom of adnexal inflammation. Acute adnexal inflammation is primarily characterized by acute lower abdominal pain, accompanied by fever. Chronic adnexal inflammation presents with varying degrees of abdominal pain, recurrent chronic inflammation, symptoms such as lower abdominal fullness, pain, and lumbosacral soreness, which fluctuate in severity. It may also be accompanied by increased leukorrhea, lower back pain, and menstrual disorders. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for examination to confirm the diagnosis. Only after identifying the cause can targeted treatment be administered. Pay attention to the cleanliness and hygiene of the perineum, avoid eating spicy foods, and ensure adequate rest.
