Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? How should I deal with stomach pain during my period?Doctor's answer:
Hello: During the menstrual period, due to uterine contractions and the discharge of menstrual blood, mild lower back and abdominal pain is a normal phenomenon. If the pain is severe, it may indicate dysmenorrhea. Dysmenorrhea is caused by prostaglandin synthesis in the endometrium, leading to intense uterine contractions. If the pain is not severe, it is important to pay attention to warmth during the menstrual period, avoid all cold, undigestible, and irritating foods, which can help alleviate the discomfort. If the pain is severe and prolonged, it cannot be ruled out that some gynecological diseases may be present, such as endometriosis, adenomyosis, uterine fibroids, and pelvic inflammatory disease, etc. It is recommended to closely monitor your condition based on your own circumstances. If the pain is severe, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly for relevant examinations to identify the cause and receive appropriate treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
