How painful is dysmenorrhea?

During menstruation, some women experience dysmenorrhea due to physiological reasons. So how painful is dysmenorrhea? Dysmenorrhea is a relatively common disease. For some women, the symptoms will be slightly alleviated after marriage, but some women will still experience dysmenorrhea for various reasons. Let us analyze and introduce in detail how painful dysmenorrhea is.

Severe lower abdominal pain during menstruation that disappears naturally after menstruation is called dysmenorrhea. Most dysmenorrhea occurs during menstruation, and for some people it occurs a few days before menstruation. The abdominal pain worsens after menstruation, but everything is normal after menstruation. The characteristics of abdominal pain are closely related to menstruation. Abdominal pain will not occur if menstruation does not come.

Abdominal pain that is not related to menstruation is not dysmenorrhea. Dysmenorrhea can be divided into primary dysmenorrhea and secondary dysmenorrhea. Primary dysmenorrhea refers to abdominal pain that occurs from the beginning of menstruation, while secondary dysmenorrhea refers to abdominal pain during menstruation that occurs several years or even more than ten years after menstruation. The causes of the two types of dysmenorrhea are different.

The causes of primary dysmenorrhea are a narrow uterine opening, uterine hypoplasia, or large pieces of endometrium in the menstrual blood. The latter condition is called membranous dysmenorrhea. Sometimes menstrual blood contains blood clots, which can also cause lower abdominal pain. The causes of secondary dysmenorrhea are mostly caused by diseases, such as endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, pelvic congestion, etc. In recent years, it has been discovered that increased synthesis of prostaglandins in the endometrium can also cause dysmenorrhea. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the cause of dysmenorrhea through examination and then treat it accordingly.

I hope that the above analysis and introduction about how painful dysmenorrhea is can help everyone. I also hope that patients with dysmenorrhea will not have psychological pressure. The more tense the menstrual period is, the easier it is to induce dysmenorrhea. You must maintain an optimistic attitude, so as to relieve the symptoms of dysmenorrhea and reduce the pain of female friends.
