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. Could you please advise what medication I should take to regulate my period pain?Doctor's answer:
Hello, dysmenorrhea is one of the most common symptoms among gynecological patients and is divided into two types: primary and secondary. Primary dysmenorrhea refers to cyclic menstrual pain without any organic disease, and its cause is still unclear. Secondary dysmenorrhea is commonly associated with conditions such as endometriosis, uterine fibroids, pelvic inflammatory disease, adenomyosis, endometrial polyps, and menstrual outflow obstruction. In terms of treatment, primary dysmenorrhea can be relieved with Yuanhu Zhiling tablets or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Secondary dysmenorrhea requires examination to identify the underlying cause and symptomatic treatment. It is important to pay attention to keeping warm, maintaining a scientific diet, appropriately supplementing with vitamins, and engaging in regular physical activity.
