Patient's question:
Why is it that now during menstruation, I experience a heavy and aching sensation in both my lower abdomen and rectum? I've never had this before, but it started happening in the past two months. I just want to ask what could be causing this situation?Doctor's answer:
During menstruation, there may be a sense of fullness and pain in the lower abdomen and rectum. In most cases, this could be related to blood clots in the abdomen, pelvic cavity, or rectum caused by menstrual irregularities. It may also be related to colorectal diseases, such as hemorrhoids. It is recommended to visit a formal hospital with a grade of three or above for examination. You can undergo detailed ultrasound examinations of the uterine appendages and digital rectal examinations. Identify the cause and treat accordingly. If the examination results are normal, pay attention to dietary and lifestyle adjustments in daily life. If necessary, you can rely on traditional Chinese medicine for regulation.
