Why do I have stomach pain on the third day of my period?

Many women experience abdominal pain on the third day of their period. If this happens every time, it means that there is a problem with their menstrual period and their body. Therefore, many women want to know the cause of abdominal pain on the third day of their period. The following is a detailed introduction for you to learn more about.

If women of childbearing age experience various forms of menstrual disorders, leading to amenorrhea, infertility or milk secretion, they should be alert to pituitary prolactinoma. The most common type of pituitary tumor is prolactinoma, which accounts for 80%-85% of pituitary tumors. Female patients are five times more common than male patients, and 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 for a long time, because hypogonadism syndrome is not regarded 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 "multifunctional", delaying diagnosis. Once a tumor grows and develops, the best chance for treatment is often lost. Women of childbearing age with menstrual disorders should be alert. If they find that their cycle time has increased, they should seek medical attention immediately. As a common disease in neurology, the diagnosis of pituitary prolactinoma is not difficult. It can be diagnosed based on comprehensive clinical symptoms, testing of blood pituitary prolactin (PRL) levels, PRL metabolism experiments and imaging diagnostic MRI examinations.

As the efficacy and advantages of traditional Chinese medicine in treating pituitary microadenomas continue to become more prominent, a large number of authoritative experts have adopted the methods of combining traditional Chinese and Western medicine to treat pituitary microadenomas. In the early stage of treatment, bromocriptine plus traditional Chinese medicine is used. When menstruation becomes normal and PRL levels decrease, the dosage of bromocriptine can be gradually reduced until it is replaced by traditional Chinese medicine. The combined treatment of Chinese and Western medicine can not only reduce the side effects after taking bromocriptine, but also, based on the dialectical analysis of the individual by Chinese medicine, it can redirect the Ren and Chong meridians, remove blood stasis and phlegm, and reduce swelling and knots, which can restore menstruation and enable pregnancy. The treatment results were confirmed by blood female hormone tests, growth hormone metabolism experiments and MRI examinations, indicating that the blood PRL level was reduced, and the tumor shrunk or even disappeared.
