Patient's question:
A friend is 37 years old and has been pregnant three times (but has not given birth). Recently, she suddenly experienced severe menstrual pain. The hospital examination diagnosed it as adenomyosis, which is incurable. She asked the doctor, "Is it really incurable?"Doctor's answer:
For common and prominent symptoms, some patients have primary dysmenorrhea, which means abdominal pain and heaviness occur from the first menstrual period. Most patients have secondary dysmenorrhea, where the first menstrual period is normal, but cyclic abdominal pain begins at a certain point and can occur during the period, before the period, or after the period. In severe cases, bed rest or medication is needed for pain relief, affecting the patient's daily life, studies, and work.
