Why do I have severe stomach pain on the first day of my period?

Abdominal pain on the first day of menstruation is considered to be primary dysmenorrhea. In clinical medicine, 10% of dysmenorrhea is secondary dysmenorrhea, which is caused by inflammation of the reproductive and urinary systems or congenital growth and development abnormalities. If the pain is severe and affects normal daily life, you can take painkillers appropriately, such as Yuanhu analgesic tablets and ibuprofen sustained-release capsules to relieve symptoms and treat the disease. Pay attention to hygiene during menstruation, avoid eating cold or too cold food, drink more brown sugar ginger water, and apply hot compress to the abdomen, and the symptoms will gradually improve.

There are many reasons why women experience abdominal pain during their periods, which may be caused by the following factors:

1. It may be that the woman did not pay attention to keeping the abdomen warm during the menstrual period, causing the abdomen to be cold, or she did not pay attention to her diet during the menstrual period and ate too cold food, causing the uterus to contract and cause pain;

2. It may be because the woman is too anxious or too excited, causing qi deficiency and blood stasis, resulting in dysmenorrhea symptoms;

3. It may also be caused by gynecological diseases, such as adenomyosis and endometriosis, or the patient may have gynecological inflammation, such as pelvic inflammatory disease and adnexitis.

If the patient's pain symptoms are severe, he or she should go to the hospital for examination in time and receive treatment immediately after the cause is determined.

The abdominal pain on the first day of the menstrual period is particularly severe because of pelvic congestion and increased prostacyclin levels. Most of them do not affect study, work and other daily life, and can be treated without medication. Maintaining a happy mood, paying attention to arranging time properly, and keeping warm can prevent or relieve them. If it is secondary dysmenorrhea, it is often caused by organic diseases. Endometriosis, adenomyosis, etc. can also cause dysmenorrhea, and it is often idiopathic and aggravated. It often requires taking painkillers such as Difen to relieve it. In this case, you need to go to the hospital for examination to find out the cause of the disease before you can fully recover.
