Patient's question:
Menstrual abdominal pain, starting from April 2012. In 2011, I had an endometriosis surgery at West China Hospital in Chengdu.Doctor's answer:
Dysmenorrhea is a common and frequently occurring gynecological disorder with multiple etiologies and complex pathogenesis, particularly prevalent among unmarried young women and adolescent girls during their initial menstrual periods. It manifests as cyclical lower abdominal pain, including distending, cold, burning,,,,,, pain during or around the menstrual period. The pain may extend to the sacro-lumbar region, even involving the thighs and legs. It is often accompanied by systemic symptoms such as breast tenderness, rectal fullness, chest tightness, irritability, sadness, anxiety, insomnia, headaches, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, diarrhea, fatigue, pale complexion, cold extremities, profuse cold sweat, and even collapse or fainting.Treatment should first involve physical exercise to strengthen the body. Daily life should follow a regular routine, balancing work and rest, with proper nutrition and adequate sleep. Public education on the physiology of menstruation should be emphasized to eliminate fear, anxiety, and mental burdens. Menstrual hygiene should be improved, avoiding strenuous exercise, excessive fatigue, and exposure to cold.
