Patient's question:
Daughter is 24 years old, experiencing menstrual cramps for about five or six years. This time, the first day of her period was particularly painful. She was in an environment with many people and it was stuffy and hot. The child felt extremely nauseous and wanted to vomit. Later, she said she felt dizzy and then fainted directly. Her eyes rolled back, and her jaw was clenched tight. After pressing the GV26 (Ren 26) point, she was conscious for about a minute. She had cold sweat on her head, felt weak in her limbs before fainting, and was pale and weak when she woke up. She ate around 10:30 in the morning but didn’t have dinner. She fainted at 4:00 in the afternoon. At that time, she called 120 (China’s emergency number). A blood sugar test showed 3.9 mmol/L, and she had no previous medical history. This kind of symptom hasn’t recurred since. An abdominal ultrasound was normal, and a brain CT scan was also normal. What should she do now?Doctor's answer:
Continuous menstrual pain that does not improve may be caused by gynecological diseases and requires timely medical examination. If severe gynecological diseases cause intense menstrual pain, and medication is not effective, surgery may be considered for treatment. For example, conditions like uterine fibroids or pelvic tumors can be treated with tumor resection if the tumors are small. Only by identifying and treating the root cause, along with careful care, can menstrual pain be alleviated.
