Continuously taking this medication during menstruation, the young girl has severe kidney failure

Dr Nha Nha Only in an interview with Ettoday said: "Any disease must find the cause, and for girls the most common is dysmenorrhea. In fact, the majority of pain The physiology is just a contraction of the bladder muscle, but girls have a habit of buying anti-inflammatory painkillers to drink, I have met a girl who has bought pain medicine for three consecutive years, to relieve abusive dysmenorrhea.

Until later the girl went to the pharmacy to buy "diuretics", which surprised me very much. When I found out, it was normal to have at least 10 tablets of painkiller every week to get the effect. Long time taking such drugs, the girl discovered that her urine was not available, after being recommended to me to the hospital for examination, the doctor discovered that the girl had severe kidney failure ".

Dr Ly Vi Hao, of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Chan Hung Hospital, said that dysmenorrhea is normally divided into primary and secondary dysmenorrhea. Primary dysmenorrhea is dysmenorrhea that occurs when the uterus contracts. Minor contractions occur along the top and bottom of the uterus. During the menstrual period, the uterus contracts to squeeze out the necrotic uterine lining. When the uterine contraction squeezes blood vessels, limiting blood and oxygen. This lack of oxygen stimulates the cells to release pain-causing chemicals.

Less common is dysmenorrhea due to a certain medical cause, called secondary dysmenorrhea. Secondary dysmenorrhea may be due to uterine fibroids, endometriosis and pelvic inflammatory disease. The pain will start before menstruation and even continue until menstruation ends.

Dr. Ly Vi Hao analyzed and selected pain relievers, mostly mainly non-steroidal analgesics, which inhibited prostate synthesis, reduced inflammation and pain, but also destroyed mechanism to protect the kidneys, causing kidney failure. Once used too much, it can also destroy the renal tubules and cause interstitial nephritis. In addition to affecting the kidneys, these drugs also make the gastrointestinal tract unable to properly repair mucous cells, causing gastric ulcers.

How much anti-inflammatory analgesics can be taken?

Each drug has a different safe dose, normally not more than 4 times a day after meals and before bedtime. When dysmenorrhea, it is important to find the cause, caused by injury to the uterus or ovaries. Determining the cause, the doctor can prescribe the appropriate medication.
