Patient's question:
In the past 2 months, when having my period, my lower abdomen has been very painful.Doctor's answer:
Hello; Dysmenorrhea refers to crampy lower abdominal pain occurring before, during, or after menstruation, accompanied by general malaise, severely affecting daily life. It is classified into primary and secondary types. When a detailed gynecological clinical examination fails to reveal any significant abnormalities in pelvic organs, it is referred to as primary dysmenorrhea, also known as functional dysmenorrhea. Secondary dysmenorrhea, on the other hand, refers to cases with obvious pathological changes in the reproductive organs, such as endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, tumors, etc.
