Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
The causes of dysmenorrhea are different. The cause of primary dysmenorrhea is a narrow cervix, underdeveloped uterus, or the presence of large pieces of endometrium in the menstrual blood, which is also known as membrane-like dysmenorrhea. Sometimes, blood clots in the menstrual blood can also cause lower abdominal pain. The cause of secondary dysmenorrhea is mostly due to diseases, such as endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, pelvic congestion, etc. In recent years, it has been found that an increase in prostaglandin synthesis in the endometrium can also cause dysmenorrhea. Therefore, it is necessary to undergo examinations to determine the cause of dysmenorrhea and then treat it accordingly.
