Will dysmenorrhea get better after giving birth?

Girls are particularly prone to dysmenorrhea, especially those who have not had sex. They will experience varying degrees of pain every time they have their period. For some women, dysmenorrhea symptoms will be relieved or disappear after having sex. Also, for mothers who have given birth, dysmenorrhea symptoms are generally milder, and most people no longer have dysmenorrhea. So, will dysmenorrhea be better after giving birth?

Will dysmenorrhea get better after giving birth?

Will dysmenorrhea go away after giving birth?

As someone who has been through this, I want to say: It’s a lie! ! Even after giving birth to Xiaohao, I still have dysmenorrhea and it has not been relieved. But some friends do find their dysmenorrhea symptoms are much better after giving birth. What’s going on?

Menstrual pain is generally divided into primary dysmenorrhea and secondary dysmenorrhea.

Primary dysmenorrhea is caused by poor blood flow, which leads to swelling due to the accumulation of menstrual blood. At the same time, prostaglandins, oxytocin and vasopressin discharged from the body can cause pain. In this case, the key to treating dysmenorrhea is pain relief.

If the bloating and pain is caused by the inability of menstrual blood to be discharged smoothly from the body, having a baby can indeed relieve the pain; if the dysmenorrhea is caused by endometriosis, don't expect that the dysmenorrhea will go away after having a baby.

Secondary dysmenorrhea is a symptom caused by other gynecological diseases, usually: uterine fibroids, endometriosis, adenomyosis, etc. In this case, if the primary disease is cured, dysmenorrhea will be relieved, and it has little to do with whether or not you can have children.

Can’t eat raw, cold or spicy food during menstruation?

This matter really depends on your physical condition. Hao Ma has been professionally drinking boiled water for more than 20 years. She still carries a thermos when she goes out in summer. Then, she endures the pain without hesitation... And my good sister Jiao Jie, she still eats delicious food and drinks spicy food during her period, with no pressure at all!

If you really feel uncomfortable after eating raw, cold, spicy food, whether it is a psychological effect or there is a direct connection, don't force yourself to eat.

The first thing you need to know is that dysmenorrhea is divided into primary dysmenorrhea and secondary dysmenorrhea.

The occurrence of primary dysmenorrhea is mainly related to the increase in endometrial prostaglandin content during menstruation. Excessive levels can cause uterine smooth muscle contraction, spasm, and uterine ischemia. At the same time, during menstruation, menstrual blood, shed endometrium, etc. may accumulate in the narrow cervical opening, causing distension and pain.

Secondary dysmenorrhea is caused by endometriosis

So, I think everyone should understand that dysmenorrhea caused by the accumulation of menstrual blood will be alleviated by the enlargement of the cervix during childbirth (natural birth or vaginal birth), but it has no effect on dysmenorrhea caused by endometriosis.

If you experience dysmenorrhea, you should seek medical attention promptly. Do not ignore it, as it may worsen the condition.
