Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Is it common to have a lot of leukorrhea before menstruation?Doctor's answer:
Women may experience an increase in leukorrhea before their menstrual period, which is normal. Generally speaking, under physiological conditions, leukorrhea often increases during the 2-3 days before and after menstruation, during ovulation, pregnancy, and during sexual activity. The reason for this is that estrogen levels are relatively high during ovulation. Your condition may be gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), also known as alkaline reflux gastritis, which is a syndrome characterized by symptoms such as upper abdominal pain, vomiting bile, bloating, and weight loss due to bile reflux into the stomach. It is recommended to use a triple therapy to eradicate Helicobacter pylori while also taking medications to promote gastric motility.
