Patient's question:
During menstruation, I have lower back pain and a slight pain in the lower abdomen for the first two days.Doctor's answer:
Hello, dysmenorrhea is one of the most common symptoms among gynecological patients and is divided into primary and secondary types. Primary dysmenorrhea refers to cyclic menstrual pain without any organic disease, and its cause remains unclear. Secondary dysmenorrhea is often associated with conditions such as endometriosis, uterine fibroids, pelvic inflammatory disease, adenomyosis, endometrial polyps, and menstrual outflow obstruction.For primary dysmenorrhea, symptoms can be relieved using Yuanhu Zhizhong tablets or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Secondary dysmenorrhea requires examination to identify the underlying cause and symptomatic treatment.
In daily life, it is important to maintain warmth, follow a balanced diet, supplement with vitamins appropriately, and engage in regular physical activity.
