What causes abdominal pain before menstruation?

I believe that many women experience abdominal pain a few days before or after their period, and some people may think this is dysmenorrhea. In fact, this situation may be caused by gynecological diseases, uterine hypoplasia and excessive uterine contraction.

1. Gynecological inflammation

Experts remind women who often experience abdominal pain and other symptoms in the few days before menstruation to go to the hospital for effective treatment as soon as possible, because many times the main cause of premenstrual discomfort is closely related to gynecological inflammation. The most common ones are adenomyosis, cervicitis, cervical erosion, etc. Only after a clear examination can targeted treatment be given. Otherwise, not only will the symptoms become more and more serious, it may even lead to female infertility.

In addition to timely examination and treatment, you should also pay attention to contact with cold water and washing your feet with cold water a few days before your period in your daily life, and also avoid eating spicy foods.

2. Improper diet

If the diet in the few days before menstruation is unreasonable or unscientific, it will also cause women to experience abdominal pain before menstruation. At this time, you only need to pay attention to adjusting your daily diet to effectively relieve the abdominal pain. Experts believe that this is a premenstrual reaction and that an improper diet can effectively alleviate it. Especially for women, excessive consumption of spicy or cold foods before menstruation can cause nerve excitement and disorder, thus leading to stomach pain.

Especially for some women who like to eat cold drinks, they must avoid eating all kinds of cold food in the few days before their period, otherwise it will lead to symptoms such as premenstrual abdominal pain and menstrual dysmenorrhea.

3. Uterine hypoplasia

If the uterus is congenitally hypoplastic, the same thing will happen to women who have a small belly a few days before their period. Therefore, if a woman has abdominal pain before her period for a long time, she must go to the hospital as soon as possible for effective examination and treatment. Common uterine dysplasia and poor uterine development include retroverted uterus and thick uterine wall, which can lead to abnormal blood supply and cause uterine ischemia and hypoxia, resulting in dysmenorrhea.

Especially for some women whose uterus is extremely retroflexed or anteflexed, it will seriously affect the smooth flow of menstrual blood, thus leading to dysmenorrhea and other conditions. Therefore, if you have abdominal pain a few days before your period, you must first understand the cause.

4. Excessive uterine contraction

In general, the uterine contraction pressure of patients with dysmenorrhea is basically the same as that of normal women, mainly 4.9kpa. However, women with dysmenorrhea usually have longer uterine contractions and are prone to being in an incompletely relaxed state. Under these conditions, symptoms such as dysmenorrhea will appear in the few days before menstruation.
