Patient's question:
Main symptoms: On 01-01, dysmenorrhea with chills all over the body, pale face. No examination of onset time: Laboratory test results: Normal. Past treatment history and effectiveness: Taken medicine a few times.Doctor's answer:
Hello, dysmenorrhea can be divided into two types: primary dysmenorrhea and secondary dysmenorrhea. Primary dysmenorrhea refers to abdominal pain that occurs from the onset of menstruation, while secondary dysmenorrhea refers to menstrual abdominal pain that appears after several years or even a decade or more. The causes of the two types of dysmenorrhea are different. The cause of primary dysmenorrhea is a narrow cervix, underdeveloped uterus, or large pieces of endometrium in the menstrual blood, the latter of which is called membrane-like dysmenorrhea. Sometimes, blood clots in the menstrual blood can also cause lower abdominal pain. The cause of secondary dysmenorrhea is mostly due to diseases, such as endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, pelvic congestion, etc. In recent years, it has been found that an increase in prostaglandin synthesis in the endometrium can also cause dysmenorrhea. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct examinations to determine the cause of dysmenorrhea and then treat it accordingly.
