Patient's question:
My girlfriend has pain every time she has her period, and it gets worse each time. Additionally, on the third day, she discharges small cystic blood clots—sometimes one, sometimes two. Each discharge is accompanied by pain, and she does not have a hymen. After searching online, it seems like it might be endometriosis. I would like to ask experts about this condition. Is it dangerous? Is it easy to treat? If treatment is needed, what is the approximate cost? How long does the treatment last? Are there any aftereffects? Does this condition affect fertility after treatment, making it impossible to have children? I hope experts can provide detailed answers.Doctor's answer:
Pain during menstruation is caused by uterine and pelvic congestion, which is a normal menstrual period symptom. It is recommended to drink more brown sugar water and motherwort granules to promote the discharge of menstrual blood, reduce the formation of blood clots, and apply heat to the abdomen to relieve pain. If you have dysmenorrhea, it is possible that it is secondary, and an ultrasound examination is needed to determine if there is a possibility of adenomyosis. If the test results are normal and the pain is not severe, then there is no need to worry. During menstruation, pay attention to keeping the lower abdomen warm and applying heat to the abdomen. You can also drink some brown sugar water.
