What do uterine contractions mean during menstruation?

Uterine contractions during menstruation indicate a significant increase in the secretion of prostaglandins in the body, which may cause dysmenorrhea in women.

Uterine contraction during menstruation mainly refers to a significant increase in prostaglandins in the body, which may cause blood vessel spasms, resulting in obvious ischemia and hypoxia in the uterus, thereby causing dysmenorrhea. Women will have obvious abdominal pain symptoms. When menstruation comes, the endometrium in the female uterus will gradually fall off. When the prostaglandins in the body increase significantly, it is likely to cause a certain stimulation to the female's uterus, and may also cause blood to accumulate in the uterine cavity, and the uterus will contract.

Women with symptoms of dysmenorrhea need to keep their abdomen warm and avoid being stimulated by wind and cold. They can promote the discharge of menstrual blood by proper abdominal massage or by using a hot water bag for heat compress, so as to avoid obstruction of menstrual blood discharge, which may also affect the health of the uterine cavity. If necessary, they can also follow the doctor's instructions and take oral analgesics for treatment. For example, oral ibuprofen sustained-release capsules and levorgestrel tablets can relieve dysmenorrhea, and can achieve better results in regulating the menstrual cycle and relieving pain. They should also go to a medical institution for a follow-up examination.
