Causes of abdominal discomfort before menstruation

Many female friends may have encountered the same problem. A few days before their period, they will feel particularly uncomfortable in their stomach. Sometimes it is so painful that they cannot work or live normally. So at this time, they have to consider whether it is caused by dysmenorrhea. So what exactly causes abdominal discomfort before menstruation?

main reason:

Some women repeatedly experience a series of physical and mental symptoms before menstruation, such as mental tension, depression, anxiety, irritability, apathy, insomnia, breast pain, abdominal distension, etc., which affect their daily life and normal study and work. This condition is medically called premenstrual syndrome, and its symptoms usually appear 7 to 14 days before menstruation. The duration and intensity of attacks vary from person to person. Most women complain of symptoms lasting about 7 days each month, similar to premenstrual depression syndrome. Some women have symptoms throughout the month, but they are most severe during the premenstrual period. Women with PMS often experience symptoms after giving birth or after some important personal event. Sufferers are often women who are under a lot of stress or have a lot of problems in their lives. It is recommended to pay attention to adjusting your mood, keep warm, eat less raw, cold and spicy food, and adjust your lifestyle.

Secondary dysmenorrhea is mostly caused by diseases such as endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and tumors. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it is due to poor blood circulation, qi stagnation and blood stasis, and malnutrition of the uterus. Cold accumulates in the cells, dampness and heat flow downward, and liver and kidney deficiency causes menstruation to become sluggish and painful.

It may be caused by irregular menstruation. Be careful not to eat raw, cold or spicy food. It is recommended that you observe it again after a few days to see if it still happens. If it still happens, go to the hospital for a check-up.

Under normal circumstances, women will experience this situation before their period. The reason is that the pelvic cavity is in a state of congestion before menstruation, and gastrointestinal bloating will occur, so you will feel bloated. If abdominal pain occurs in addition to bloating, then you need to consider whether there is a disease. If there is pain, then you need to consider whether it is dysmenorrhea, and if it is dysmenorrhea, you need to consider whether it is primary or secondary. If it occurs during menstruation, then it is considered primary. It is generally recommended to check to make sure there is no problem with the uterus, then there is no need to worry.

The above is an introduction to the reasons why female friends feel uncomfortable in their stomachs before menstruation. Most of the reasons are caused by dysmenorrhea, but it cannot be generalized because everyone's physical condition is different, so you must go to the hospital for examination.
