Will dysmenorrhea cause infertility? Dysmenorrhea is more common among unmarried young women and female students. Most cases of dysmenorrhea during adolescence are functional or primary dysmenorrhea. Through observation, it was found that more than 90% of primary dysmenorrhea is related to psychological factors. Mental stress, overwork and changes in living environment are the main causes.

In addition, dysmenorrhea can be caused by an overly curved uterus, poor menstrual blood flow, being caught in the rain or wading in water, or eating too much cold drinks. This type of dysmenorrhea will gradually improve or heal itself with a little treatment or as you age. However, some dysmenorrhea is secondary to certain gynecological organic diseases, such as pelvic inflammatory disease, uterine fibroids, endometriosis, etc., which must be taken seriously and the cause should be identified and treated as soon as possible.

Will dysmenorrhea cause infertility? The answer is yes. Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease with dysmenorrhea and infertility as the main symptoms. It is more common in women aged 30-45, but young patients in their 20s are also not uncommon, especially female athletes and ballet dancers. It is reported that the incidence of infertility in patients with endometriosis is more than 30%. One-third or nearly half of women with unexplained infertility have endometriosis, and the chance of infertility in such patients is 20 times that of those without endometriosis.

Endometriosis occurs when endometrial tissue leaves its normal location in the uterine cavity and grows and develops in any other part of the human body. The causes are rather complicated. For example, artificial abortion, induced labor, postoperative cervical stenosis or occlusion, or retroversion and retroflexion of the uterus that obstruct the outflow of menstrual blood, causing endometrial fragments to flow back with menstrual blood and implant in multiple parts of the pelvic cavity through the fallopian tubes, all of which can lead to the disease. This then causes dysmenorrhea and infertility. Therefore, not performing or performing fewer artificial abortions and induced labor surgeries, and correcting posterior uterine displacement in a timely manner can prevent and reduce its occurrence. In addition, adolescent girls should get adequate rest during menstruation and avoid strenuous exercise to prevent the occurrence of endometriosis.
