Causes of abdominal pain on the fourth day of menstruation

Many women experience abdominal pain on the fourth day of menstruation. If this happens every time, it means that there is a problem with their menstruation and their body. Therefore, many women want to fully understand the causes of abdominal pain on the fourth day of menstruation. The following is a detailed introduction so that you can have a comprehensive understanding.

If women of childbearing age experience various forms of menstrual disorders, followed by amenorrhea, infertility or lactation, they should be alert to pituitary prolactinoma. Prolactinoma is the most common pituitary tumor, accounting for 80%-85% of pituitary tumors. Female patients are five times more likely to be affected than male patients. Two-thirds of female patients have microadenomas, most of whom are between 20 and 40 years old.

Although people have noticed the "menstrual disorder-galactorrhea-infertility" syndrome very early, because hyposexuality syndrome is not considered as an early symptom of prolactinoma and is not associated with pituitary tumors, it is often ignored by patients or considered by doctors to be "functional" and the diagnosis is delayed. Once the tumor grows, the best time for treatment is often lost. Women of childbearing age with menstrual disorders should be alert. If they find that their cycle is prolonged, they should seek medical attention in time. As a common disease in neurology, the diagnosis of pituitary prolactinoma is not difficult. It can be diagnosed by comprehensive clinical manifestations, detection of blood pituitary prolactin (PRL) levels, PRL secretion function tests and imaging magnetic resonance imaging.

As the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine in treating pituitary microadenomas continues to become more prominent, more experts have adopted a combination of Chinese and Western medicine to treat pituitary microadenomas. In the initial stage of treatment, bromocriptine plus traditional Chinese medicine is used for treatment. When menstruation becomes normal and PRL levels decrease, the dose of bromocriptine is gradually reduced until it is replaced by traditional Chinese medicine. The synergistic treatment of Chinese and Western medicine can not only reduce the side effects of taking bromocriptine, but also, through TCM's differentiation of syndromes for individuals, regulate the Ren and Chong meridians, remove blood stasis and phlegm, and reduce swelling and resolve nodules, which can restore menstruation to normal and enable conception and childbearing. The treatment results have been confirmed by the detection of blood hormone levels, tests of hormone secretion function, and magnetic resonance imaging to confirm that the blood PRL level has decreased and the tumor has shrunk or even disappeared.
