    Stomach pain accompanied by low menstruation may be related to endocrine disorders, intrauterine adhesions, polycystic ovary syndrome, thyroid dysfunction, endometrial damage and other factors. This symptom usually manifests as shortened menstrual periods, dark menstrual blood, and lower abdominal pain, etc., and requires intervention based on the specific cause.

    1. Endocrine disorders

    Staying up late or experiencing mental stress for a long time may lead to hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis dysfunction and insufficient estrogen secretion. It manifests as menstrual cycle disorders, reduced menstrual flow and mild abdominal pain. It is recommended to adjust your work and rest schedule, and use estradiol valerate tablets, progesterone capsules and other drugs as directed by your doctor to adjust your cycle if necessary.

    2. Uterine adhesions

    Multiple artificial abortions or uterine cavity operations may cause damage to the basal layer of the endometrium and form adhesions. Typical symptoms include sharp decrease in menstrual flow and worsening of cyclic abdominal pain. The diagnosis needs to be confirmed through hysteroscopy. If the adhesions are mild, an intrauterine device can be placed. If the adhesions are severe, separation of intrauterine adhesions is required.

    3. Polycystic ovary syndrome

    Excessive androgens and insulin resistance can inhibit ovulation, leading to oligomenorrhea and reduced menstrual flow. Often accompanied by acne, hirsutism and persistent dull pain. Lifestyle intervention is required after diagnosis. You can take drugs such as ethinyl estradiol cyproterone tablets and metformin hydrochloride tablets as directed by your doctor.

    4. Abnormal thyroid function

    Abnormal thyroid hormone levels can interfere with sex hormone synthesis. Patients with hypothyroidism often experience less menstrual flow and worsened dysmenorrhea. It may be accompanied by symptoms such as fatigue and chills. Thyroid function needs to be tested, and levothyroxine sodium tablets or methimazole tablets should be used for treatment based on the results.

    5. Endometrial damage

    Repeated uterine infection or tuberculous endometritis can lead to endometrial repair disorders, continued reduction in menstrual flow, and lower abdominal traction pain. Endometrial biopsy is required. After diagnosis, estrogen therapy can be tried to promote endometrial growth. In severe cases, uterine infusion therapy should be considered.

    Daily recommendations include keeping the abdomen warm, avoiding cold and raw foods, and drinking appropriate amounts of ginger and jujube tea to relieve menstrual cramps. If the symptoms persist for more than 3 months or the pain worsens, timely gynecological ultrasound and six sex hormone tests are required. Avoid taking blood-activating drugs on your own, and all treatment plans should be carried out under the guidance of a specialist.
