What are the causes of dysmenorrhea in girls

It is said that menstruation is a barometer of women's physical health. In real life, most women attach great importance to their menstrual hygiene and health care. Dysmenorrhea is a major problem that troubles women's health. Many women will experience dysmenorrhea. So why do teenage women have dysmenorrhea? What factors are related to dysmenorrhea? How can women relieve the pain caused by dysmenorrhea?

1. Endocrine factors: Abdominal pain during menstruation is related to the increase of progesterone in the luteal phase.

2. The content of prostaglandins (PG) in the endometrium and menstrual blood increases, and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) acts on uterine muscle fibers to cause them to contract and cause dysmenorrhea. The prostaglandin content in the endometrial tissue of menstrual patients is significantly increased compared with that of women with normal uterine function.

3. Excessive contraction of the uterus. Although the uterine contraction pressure of patients with dysmenorrhea is basically the same as that of normal women (normal pressure is about 4.9 Kpa), the uterine contraction lasts longer and is often difficult to relax completely, so dysmenorrhea occurs due to excessive uterine contraction.

4. Cervical stenosis mainly causes obstruction of menstrual outflow, leading to dysmenorrhea.

5. Abnormal position of the uterus. If a woman's uterus is extremely retroflexed or anteflexed, it may affect the smooth flow of menstrual blood and cause dysmenorrhea.

6. Uterine hypoplasia Poor uterine development is prone to abnormal blood supply, causing uterine ischemia and hypoxia and causing dysmenorrhea.

7. Psychological and neurological factors: Some women are overly sensitive to pain.

8. Genetic factors: A daughter's dysmenorrhea is related to her mother's dysmenorrhea.

9. Abnormal uterine contraction. Patients with dysmenorrhea often have abnormal uterine contractions, which often lead to ischemia of uterine smooth muscles. Uterine muscle ischemia can cause spasmodic contractions of the uterine muscles, resulting in pain and dysmenorrhea.

10. Gynecological diseases such as endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, adenomyosis, uterine fibroids, etc. Placing an intrauterine contraceptive device (commonly known as an IUD) in the uterus can also easily cause dysmenorrhea.

Friends who suffer from dysmenorrhea should pay more attention to their diet and living conditions, and pay more attention to their personal hygiene during menstruation. Many factors cannot be changed, such as genetic factors, but we must change the habits that can be changed to reduce the chance of dysmenorrhea and avoid unnecessary pain.
