What should I do if I have severe stomach pain during menstruation?

During menstruation, abdominal pain is seriously considered to be caused by a cold, and it may also be related to diseases such as cervicitis and endometritis. It is necessary to choose different treatments according to different causes.

1. Catch a cold:

When women have their period, their body resistance usually decreases. If the abdomen is not kept warm at this time, it will be stimulated by cold wind, or if you like to eat raw and cold foods such as ice cream and ice watermelon, it will cause certain stimulation to the gastrointestinal mucosa, and it will also cause uterine cramps and abdominal pain. This is a normal physiological phenomenon and can be improved by strengthening warmth and applying hot compresses to the abdomen.

2. Cervicitis:

Cervicitis is an inflammation of the cervix, usually caused by infection with pathogens. It can cause increased vaginal discharge, irregular vaginal bleeding, pain, vulvar itching and burning. Menstruation can cause cervical congestion and aggravate local inflammation. After the illness, you can take cephalosporin capsules, doxycycline hydrochloride tablets, azithromycin dispersible tablets and other drugs under the guidance of a doctor.

3. Endometritis:

Refers to inflammation of the endometrium. Menstruation can also lead to aggravation of local inflammation, causing abdominal pain, loss of appetite, increased menstruation, prolonged menstruation and other symptoms. In severe cases, it can also cause fever. At this time, you can take amoxicillin capsules, metronidazole tablets, cefuroxime axetil tablets and other drugs under the guidance of a doctor.

In addition to the above reasons, it may also be related to diseases such as ovarian cysts, which can be treated through surgery such as ovarian cystectomy and oophorectomy.
