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 tell me what causes lower abdominal pain and diarrhea before menstruation?Doctor's answer:
This is dysmenorrhea combined with premenstrual syndrome, which is normal. If the pain is severe, you can take some pain relievers. Some women may experience lower abdominal and lumbosacral discomfort or uterine contraction pain during menstruation due to pelvic congestion and the effects of prostaglandins, and may also have symptoms such as diarrhea and other gastrointestinal dysfunction. If the symptoms are mild, no treatment is needed. If the symptoms are severe, it is recommended to seek medical attention.
