Patient's question:
Do you have cramps or abdominal pain during your menstrual period that affects pregnancy?If it does, how should it be treated?
Doctor's answer:
Menstrual cramps are usually not serious unless they significantly affect daily life or studies. In such cases, it's appropriate to take pain relievers. The causes of primary menstrual cramps are often related to stress, heightened sensitivity, which can be improved after advice from a doctor. People with weaker constitutions are also more prone to menstrual cramps, and symptoms can be alleviated by improving their physical health. Poor uterine positioning or narrow cervix, leading to blood retention, are also common causes of menstrual cramps, which may disappear after pregnancy. However, some menstrual cramps are caused by reproductive organ disorders, especially genital deformities. Therefore, severe and persistent menstrual cramps should be treated promptly.
