Why do girls have dysmenorrhea?

Monthly menstruation makes many female friends very worried. Why do girls have dysmenorrhea? In fact, dysmenorrhea seriously harms women's physical and mental health. Girls will feel uncomfortable after dysmenorrhea, and even have big problems. Some girls will feel painful every time they have their period. Let me give you a detailed introduction to the causes of female dysmenorrhea, hoping to relieve some of the dysmenorrhea.

Everyone knows that dysmenorrhea is related to the menstrual cycle of ovulation. The mechanism of dysmenorrhea is related to prostaglandin activity. The levels of prostaglandins in women with dysmenorrhea are higher than those in women without dysmenorrhea. Increased release of prostaglandins (PG): During the secretory phase, PGF2a in the endometrium and blood increases abnormally, inducing uterine muscle contraction/producing spasmodic pain; it can also cause gastrointestinal reactions. Oxytocin is the strongest uterine contraction agent known to date. After oxytocin is coupled to its receptor and G protein, it activates phospholipase C and, through the intracellular inositol phosphoinositide signaling system, induces an increase in cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration, resulting in strong contraction of the uterus during delivery. In addition, oxytocin may act on the uterine artery. Recent studies have shown that oxytocin may play an important role in the contraction of the uterine artery. In addition to regulating the normal function of the uterus, oxytocin can cause temporary uterine ischemia [4]. This mechanism may also be involved in the occurrence of primary dysmenorrhea.

Other studies have demonstrated that increased leukotrienes are associated with dysmenorrhea. Elevated vasopressin: High estrogen levels in the late luteal phase stimulate the posterior pituitary to release excessive vasopressin, causing excessive uterine contraction.

Psychological factors may also be one of the causes of dysmenorrhea, including the influence of mothers on their daughters. It is best for girls to learn about menstruation before their first menstruation. This information can be conveyed by parents, teachers or doctors. Anxiety from learning or social aspects may also be one of the reasons. At the same time, it has been reported that about 50% of patients can relieve symptoms using only placebo.

Common high-risk factors for primary dysmenorrhea include: 1. Adolescence; 2. Stress-related anxiety; 3. Body mass index 30kg/㎡; 4. Depression related to eating disorders; 5. Family history; 6. Early menarche; 7. Excessive menstrual flow; 8. Irregular uterine bleeding; 9. Nulliparous women; 10. Smoking.

There is a way to treat dysmenorrhea that is the most natural, which is to have a child, of course special circumstances are not excluded. To quickly resolve dysmenorrhea, generally drink brown sugar water and place a hot water bag on your lower abdomen. It is not recommended to take painkillers, as all medicines are toxic and can easily affect conception and the future fetus.

Dysmenorrhea seems to be a very common condition. Some girls also experience dysmenorrhea, but why do girls suffer from dysmenorrhea? In fact, it is caused by some of the reasons mentioned above. If female friends suffer from dysmenorrhea for a long time, the harm to their health is very great. Even the mental factors of female dysmenorrhea are very common. If they are not properly adjusted, it will also cause many diseases.
