Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Severe pain during each menstrual period, very little flow, yellow discharge, and itchy external genitalia. Currently undergoing traditional Chinese medicine treatment. How many weeks are needed to see significant improvement? Is it easy for the itchy external genitalia to recur? I always have to wait to urinate, but it's not painful. A hospital previously diagnosed it as urethritis. Are these conditions related? Thank you.First follow-up question: Can traditional Chinese medicine completely cure the itchy external genitalia and prevent it from recurring? An ultrasound showed many fragments in the kidneys, and it was recommended to drink more water to pass them out. The doctor didn't mention anything else. Is it necessary to get a urine test?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, regarding the question of what causes frequent menstrual cramps and how to regulate them, the answer is as follows: Pain, lower back pain, or a heavy feeling during or before menstruation is referred to as dysmenorrhea. Primary dysmenorrhea refers to cramps without any pelvic organ disease and is harmless to health. Secondary dysmenorrhea is caused by certain abnormalities in the reproductive organs, the most common of which include endometriosis, adenomyosis, submucosal uterine fibroids, and cervical stenosis. After medical examination and treatment, if the cause is removed, the dysmenorrhea will naturally disappear.
