During the menstrual period, many women will experience dysmenorrhea, which is often regarded as a normal phenomenon without further investigation. However, dysmenorrhea is not just a simple physiological reaction. It may sometimes be an alarm signal sent by the body. Especially when the pain is extremely severe, it may be closely related to gynecological diseases such as PID.

Dysmenorrhea, especially secondary dysmenorrhea, which begins or gradually worsens in adulthood, is often an important symptom of pelvic inflammatory disease. It manifests as lower abdominal pain, lumbosacral soreness, and in severe cases, may even be accompanied by fever and abnormal increase in leucorrhea. These may be signs of PID.

As the name suggests, pelvic inflammatory disease(PID) refers to the inflammation of organs in the pelvic cavity, including the uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries, and surrounding tissues. It is usually caused by bacterial infections, such as sexually transmitted diseases, postpartum or post-abortion infections, etc.

The high incidence age of PID is between 15 and 25 years old. Young women have more frequent sexual activity, their mechanical defense ability of cervical mucus is relatively poor, and they are more likely to be infected by pathogens.

If females often have sexual intercourse during menstruation, use unclean sanitary napkins or pads, and do not change underwear in a time, it will provide good conditions for bacterial reproduction. Bacteria will also take the opportunity to infect and enter the pelvic tissue, causing pelvic inflammation. 

In addition, other causes include frequent sexual activity, infection after intrauterine operations, appendicitis or peritonitis and other nearby organ inflammation spreading to the pelvic cavity, fallopian tube injury, extensive pelvic adhesions, etc.

Warning signals of PID:

1. Increased pain: The pain during menstruation is beyond normal and unbearable.

2. Non-cyclic pain: Feeling discomfort in the lower abdomen or lumbosacral region even when not during menstruation.

3. Physiological changes: abnormal leucorrhea, painful sexual intercourse, irregular menstruation, etc.

4. Systemic symptoms: discomfort such as fever, fatigue, and loss of appetite.

How to deal with PID scientifically?

Once it is suspected that dysmenorrhea is related to PID, the first step is to seek medical treatment promptly and confirm it through professional examination.

Doctors may recommend blood tests, urine tests, pelvic ultrasounds, or necessary hysteroscopy to determine the cause of the disease. After a diagnosis, targeted treatment is crucial. This usually includes using antibiotics to control infection accompanied by appropriate rest and dietary adjustments.

Fuyan Pill is a Traditional Chinese Medicine preparation used to alleviate gynecological inflammation, including symptoms caused by PID. It contains natural herbal ingredients that can clear heat and detoxify, promote blood circulation and stasis, help improve pelvic blood circulation, reduce pain, and promote inflammation absorption.  

Choosing "Fuyan Pill" as a method is not only because it is targeted, but also because it can reduce the potential side effects of long-term antibiotic use, making it more suitable for women who pursue natural therapy.

Dysmenorrhea should not be taken for granted, especially when it may indicate potential health issues. If patients never experienced dysmenorrhea in the past and suddenly experience it, or it is accompanied by abnormal uterine bleeding, abnormal vaginal secretions, or even fever and chills, then it should be alert that this may be PID.

When facing PID, a positive attitude and scientific treatment methods are key. Consulting a professional doctor in time and choosing Fuyan Pill reasonably can effectively relieve symptoms and protect women's reproductive health. Love yourself, starting from taking every dysmenorrhea seriously.
