Pathological analysis of lower abdominal pain before menstruation

We all know that many women feel unwell during menstruation every month. Some feel weak and have an abnormal complexion, while others vomit, have a fever and have cold sweats. This is especially true for young women, who sometimes experience lower abdominal pain two or three days before their period, which can also be called dysmenorrhea, which is very annoying. So, why does the lower abdomen hurt before menstruation? What is its pathological cause? Please read the following analysis carefully.

1. Dysmenorrhea is divided into two categories: primary dysmenorrhea and secondary dysmenorrhea.

1. The cause of primary dysmenorrhea is not yet fully understood, and there is no organic disease. It is most common in unmarried and non-parous women under 25 years old. Most of them develop the disease 6-12 months after menarche. Most of them will be relieved or even disappear after reaching childbearing age or marriage.

2. Secondary dysmenorrhea has a clear cause and is common in women of childbearing age, especially married women after the age of 30. Their reproductive organs have organic lesions. Gynecological examination may reveal an enlarged uterus, limited mobility, and tenderness; the appendages are thickened or flaky and tender. You must go to a regular hospital to see a doctor and treat the primary disease symptomatically to eliminate the symptoms.

2. According to Western medicine, the pathogenesis of dysmenorrhea can be roughly summarized into the following aspects:

1. Excessive contraction of the uterus.

2. Abnormal uterine contraction leads to ischemia of uterine smooth muscle. The ischemia of uterine muscle can cause spasmodic contraction of uterine muscle, resulting in pain and dysmenorrhea.

3. It is related to the increased level of prostaglandins in the endometrium and menstrual blood. The levels of prostaglandins in the endometrial tissue and menstrual blood of patients with dysmenorrhea are significantly higher than those of normal women.

3. Nursing treatment

1. Provide girls with menstrual health education; strengthen their physical fitness, pay attention to regular life, and combine work and rest; pay attention to nutrition and adequate sleep.

2. Avoid strenuous exercise, excessive fatigue, cold water baths or working in water during menstruation; mentally, eliminate fear, anxiety and mental burden.

If there is any systemic disease, it should be treated and corrected.

3. The principle of treatment is symptomatic treatment: hot compress, analgesics, Chinese patent medicine dysmenorrhea pills, Western medicine estrogen, etc. If the condition is serious, seek medical attention promptly.

Through the pathological analysis of lower abdominal pain before menstruation, we can know that this is a normal phenomenon; therefore, female friends who experience lower abdominal pain before menstruation should not worry, let alone be too anxious; especially young women who have just started menstruation, pay more attention to rest during dysmenorrhea, pay attention to regular life, combine work and rest, and eat a light diet, that's all.
