Will dysmenorrhea lead to infertility? Is it difficult to get pregnant with dysmenorrhea?

As the name suggests, dysmenorrhea means that women often experience severe abdominal pain during the menstrual period. This pain is generally difficult to suppress. Many women have tried a lot of Chinese and Western medicines, but most of them have no obvious effects. Women are more worried, especially afraid that dysmenorrhea will affect future pregnancy. So, will dysmenorrhea lead to infertility?

1. Is it difficult to get pregnant if you have frequent dysmenorrhea?

Generally speaking, dysmenorrhea is divided into two types: primary and secondary. We need to look at the question of whether dysmenorrhea will affect pregnancy separately. Because the main symptom of primary menstrual pain is abdominal pain that occurs when the menstrual period begins. Secondary pain is a problem that occurs suddenly after the menstrual period has lasted for a long time. The reasons for the two are very different. Primary menstruation is caused by the failure of the uterus to develop properly, resulting in a narrow cervical opening or too large endometrial fragments in the menstrual blood. Sometimes if there is a blood clot in the blood, there may also be pain problems. Most of the secondary ones are caused by gynecological diseases.

Generally speaking, primary dysmenorrhea will not affect female fertility. Secondary ones are very likely. The endometrium is the most obvious.

The main symptoms of endometriosis are dysmenorrhea and infertility. Generally speaking, it is more common in middle-aged women.

Primary menstrual pain is pain caused by poor development of the reproductive system and will not affect fertility. Secondary pain is caused by lesions in certain organs of women, which has a great impact on whether women can become pregnant. If you think that dysmenorrhea affects your pregnancy, you should go to the hospital for a check-up.
