What should I do if the menstrual pain is very severe?
If women experience severe dysmenorrhea, they should first undergo routine examinations to rule out organic lesions, which are the possibility of secondary dysmenorrhea. For example, we should initially conduct gynecological examinations, pelvic ultrasounds, or combine other auxiliary examinations such as pelvic CT and MRI scans to rule them out. Some women may suffer from conditions such as endometrial polyps, ovarian chocolate cysts, or uterine fibroids, leading to severe dysmenorrhea. The treatment methods vary depending on the different causes. For instance, if a woman has endometrial polyps, hysteroscopic electrosurgical resection of the polyps can be performed. If it has been ruled out that the woman has organic lesions of the reproductive system and the possibility of secondary dysmenorrhea, it is possible that she has primary dysmenorrhea. She can take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs orally during menstruation to relieve the pain, or regularly take short-acting contraceptive pills to suppress ovulation and alleviate the symptoms of dysmenorrhea.
