The influence of the health status of female friends usually makes them feel very stressed in their daily lives. However, due to the differences in many aspects of our daily lives, the menstrual period is affected to a certain extent. Dysmenorrhea is very painful. So why do we have dysmenorrhea now if we didn’t have dysmenorrhea before?

I didn't have menstrual cramps before, why do I have menstrual cramps now?

1. If you did not have dysmenorrhea before but now have dysmenorrhea, it may be secondary dysmenorrhea. Most of the causes of secondary dysmenorrhea are caused by diseases, such as endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, pelvic congestion, etc. In recent years, it has been discovered that increased production of prostacyclin by the uterine wall can also cause menstrual pain. Therefore, it is necessary to examine and identify the cause of menstrual pain and then treat the cause.

2. The prostacyclin (PG) content in the uterine wall and menstrual blood increases, and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) acts on the uterine muscle tissue to contract and cause menstrual pain. The prostacyclin content in the uterine wall tissue of menstrual patients was significantly increased in women with normal prostaglandins.

3. The uterus is abnormally contracted. Patients with dysmenorrhea often experience abnormal contraction of the uterus, which often causes ischemia of the uterine smooth muscle. Ischemia of the uterine muscle can cause spasm and contraction of the uterine muscle, which in turn causes pain and dysmenorrhea.

4. Excessive contraction of the uterus. Although the uterine contraction pressure of patients with dysmenorrhea is basically the same as that of normal women (the normal pressure is about 4.9Kpa), the uterine contraction lasts longer and it is usually difficult to completely release the pressure, so dysmenorrhea caused by excessive contraction of the uterus occurs.

5. Gynecological diseases such as endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, adenomyosis, uterine fibroids, etc. The placement of an intrauterine contraceptive ring (also known as an IUD) can also easily cause menstrual pain. Endocrine factors: Abdominal pain during menstruation is associated with increased progesterone levels during the follicular phase.

What should I do if I often have menstrual pain?

What should we do about long-term menstrual pain? Some people conducted a survey: "According to a survey report on young women aged 14-30, more than 88% of women in this age group have problems such as menstrual pain, irregular menstruation, abdominal distension, and back pain, among which menstrual pain is the most common. The survey also found that many girls take painkillers every time they have their period." Therefore, painkillers are harmful.

First of all, we should use scientific treatment methods, and pay attention to using Chuanxiong and other substances to supplement the body. During treatment, patients with dysmenorrhea should pay attention to their health care, keep warm during menstruation, avoid rain and drainage, and avoid eating cold foods. Stable emotions and happy spirit. Eat an effective and balanced diet. Live a regular life, arrange your time reasonably, and ensure quality sleep. Participate in physical exercise appropriately, but avoid physical labor and excessive exercise. Ensuring the above aspects will help reduce the incidence of dysmenorrhea and promote rehabilitation treatment.

The treatment for secondary dysmenorrhea is to specifically treat the disease that causes dysmenorrhea. Menstrual pain caused by intrauterine contraceptive ring can be treated with PGs-generating retarder, which can relieve dysmenorrhea and reduce menstrual volume at the same time. In recent years, there are contraceptive rings with progesterone values, which can reduce the PGs component in menstrual blood to relieve the severity of dysmenorrhea. For patients whose efficacy is still not obvious, the IUD should be removed and other contraceptive methods should be switched.
