Is there a connection between stomach problems and menstruation?

Patient's question:

Discovered that every week before my period, I get stomach pain. After the stomach pain subsides, my period also comes. I find it quite puzzling.

Doctor's answer:

Hello: Based on your description, it should be menstrual cramps! Menstrual cramps are generally characterized by lower abdominal pain. I'm not sure if the stomach pain you mentioned is lower abdominal pain or just stomach pain? Another possibility is that for some people, the location of menstrual cramps is not fixed, or it may radiate! You might be in this situation! For patients, if the condition of gastritis is severe, timely symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication are necessary. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of gastritis. In addition, patients also need to maintain a proper diet and keep a positive mood. I hope the answers to these questions can help everyone. Thank you.
