In addition to physical and mental factors, the occurrence of dysmenorrhea is mainly related to the excessively high level of prostaglandin (PG) F2α in the patient's endometrium during the secretory phase. Therefore, dysmenorrhea often occurs during the menstrual cycle with ovulation. PGF2α is synthesized in the endometrium during the secretory phase under the action of progesterone. Its receptors are in the uterine muscle wall. During menstruation, the endometrium is broken down and PGF2α is released, stimulating the uterine muscles to contract strongly, increasing the intrauterine pressure, reducing local blood flow, causing ischemia and hypoxia, and thus causing pain. In addition, cervical stenosis and excessive tilt of the uterus can lead to poor outflow of menstrual blood and cause dysmenorrhea. Do physical exercise to improve your physical fitness.
