What is the disease that brings such pain to people?

Follow the experts to understand this annoying dysmenorrhea

The monthly visit of "period" always brings Xiaojie a painful experience. According to "traditional experience", Xiaojie will make friends with hot water, drink more hot water, apply hot water bottle to the lower abdomen, and refuse cold drinks... But what is dysmenorrhea, is there any other way to "deal with it", and what is its relationship with women's health? Experts will explain it in detail.

Dysmenorrhea refers to pain and distension in the lower abdomen before, during, or after menstruation, accompanied by backache, nausea, vomiting, headache, syncope, facial flushing or other discomfort. Severe symptoms can affect life and work. Dysmenorrhea is medically divided into two types, primary dysmenorrhea and secondary dysmenorrhea.

Primary dysmenorrhea is common, accounting for more than 90%, and refers to dysmenorrhea without organic lesions in the genitals. It is mainly related to the increase in the content of prostaglandins in the endometrium during menstruation, which can cause strong uterine contractions and vasospasm, leading to pain. It often occurs during adolescence, and the pain will gradually worsen over time. In addition, it is also affected by mental and neurological factors. Mental stress will aggravate dysmenorrhea, forming a vicious cycle.

Symptoms appear several years after menarche, which is caused by organic pelvic lesions, such as endometriosis, adenomyosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, etc. In other words, dysmenorrhea is not as simple as "pain". Some dysmenorrhea is related to gynecological diseases and even reproductive health.
Therefore, dysmenorrhea should be taken seriously. You can go to the hospital to check whether there are organic diseases, such as endometriosis, adenomyosis, uterine fibroids, acute and chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, etc. If there are related organic diseases, you should receive treatment under the doctor's advice.

Folk tips, including drinking hot water, brown sugar ginger water, applying hot water bags, keeping warm, and avoiding cold, are all feasible. By improving blood circulation, dysmenorrhea can be relieved to a certain extent. The saying "you can't wash your hair during menstruation" is not accurate. As long as you don't get cold, it's okay to wash your hair.

No. First, let's look at the problems behind puberty dysmenorrhea.

Parents do not take primary dysmenorrhea during adolescence very seriously, thinking that it will be fine if they just get through it. However, some adolescents have dysmenorrhea combined with organic lesions, such as endometriosis or genital tract malformations.

Therefore, adolescent dysmenorrhea also needs to consult a doctor to identify the cause and receive timely treatment, and avoid delays that may lead to progressive worsening of the condition.

Secondary dysmenorrhea may affect female fertility.

For example, endometriosis - the endometrium that should have grown in the uterine cavity grows to other parts. In the ovaries, it is ovarian chocolate cysts; in the pelvic cavity, it is pelvic endometriosis; in the myometrium, it is adenomyosis.

The endometrium that grows to other locations will also grow with the menstrual cycle, and will fall off and bleed during menstruation, which will not only induce more severe dysmenorrhea, but the chocolate cyst will gradually erode the normal ovarian tissue, affecting the normal ovarian reserve and ovulation function. The repeated bleeding caused by pelvic endometriosis will cause adhesions of the pelvis and fallopian tubes, change the pelvic environment, etc., which will have an adverse effect on normal pregnancy.

In addition to the above-mentioned folk remedies, non-drug treatments such as traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture and pelvic floor electrophysiology can also relieve pain.

Sufficient sleep, regular and moderate exercise, eliminating tension and worries, and quitting smoking can all help relieve pain.

If the pain is unbearable, adjuvant drug treatment is needed.

Dysmenorrhea is not just about pain
