Why does it still hurt so much after having my period a month after giving birth?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, menstrual cramps are caused by the synthesis of prostaglandins in the endometrium, leading to severe uterine contractions. However, some gynecological diseases, such as endometriosis, adenomyosis, uterine fibroids, and pelvic inflammatory disease, can also exacerbate menstrual cramps. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly for a clear diagnosis.
