Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Generally, some or most women experience symptoms such as abdominal pain and lower back pain before or after menstruation, which is known as dysmenorrhea. Dysmenorrhea is caused by the synthesis of prostaglandins in the endometrium, leading to severe uterine contractions. However, certain gynecological conditions, such as endometriosis, adenomyosis, uterine fibroids, and pelvic inflammatory disease, can also exacerbate the symptoms of dysmenorrhea. Therefore, it is necessary to visit a hospital for examination and diagnosis before considering treatment options.
