Who is this surgery for?
- Severe, debilitating cramping pain in the lower abdomen before and during menstruation.
- Pain that radiates to the lower back and thighs.
- Associated symptoms like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fatigue, or headaches during periods.
- Pain that interferes with daily activities, work, or school attendance.
- Suspicion of secondary dysmenorrhea due to conditions like endometriosis, uterine fibroids, or pelvic inflammatory disease.
- Pain that does not respond adequately to over-the-counter pain medications.
How to prepare
- Medical History Review: Be prepared to discuss your menstrual cycle patterns, pain severity, and any other symptoms in detail.
- Symptom Diary: Keeping a log of your pain levels, timing, and associated symptoms over 1-2 cycles can be very helpful.
- List of Medications: Bring a list of all current medications, supplements, and any previous treatments tried for period pain.
- Pelvic Exam Readiness: A physical and pelvic examination is a standard part of the initial evaluation.
- Ultrasound: You may be asked to have a full bladder for a transabdominal pelvic ultrasound, which is a common diagnostic tool.
Risks & possible complications
- Medication Side Effects: NSAIDs can cause stomach upset or kidney issues; hormonal treatments may have side effects like spotting, mood changes, or nausea.
- Diagnostic Procedure Risks: Procedures like laparoscopy (used for diagnosis in some cases) carry rare risks of infection, bleeding, or injury to nearby organs.
- Treatment Ineffectiveness: A specific treatment may not provide sufficient relief, requiring a change in strategy.
- Underlying Condition Progression: If an underlying condition like endometriosis is the cause, it may progress if not adequately managed.
- Anesthesia Risks: If surgical management is required, general anesthesia carries its own standard, low-probability risks.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Immediate Post-Consultation: For non-surgical management, you can resume normal activities immediately after your doctor's visit.
- Medication Adherence: Take prescribed medications (like NSAIDs) at the onset of pain for best results, as directed.
- Lifestyle Integration: Incorporate recommended practices like regular exercise, heat application, and dietary changes during your cycle.
- Follow-up Monitoring: Attend scheduled follow-up appointments to assess treatment effectiveness and adjust the plan if needed.
- Post-Procedure Care: If a diagnostic or therapeutic procedure (e.g., laparoscopy) is performed, specific recovery instructions regarding rest, wound care, and activity limitations will be provided.
