Why do I feel nauseous and want to vomit during my period?

Menstruation can be said to be an inevitable pain for almost every girl every month. Because every girl's physique is different, the body's reactions during menstruation will also be different. Some people will feel excruciating pain during menstruation, some will have back pain and diarrhea, some will feel nauseous and want to vomit, but some will have nothing wrong. Dysmenorrhea is normal, but what is the reason for nausea and vomiting during menstruation?

Increased levels of prostaglandins in the endometrium and blood are the main mechanism causing dysmenorrhea. A large amount of prostaglandins have an excitatory effect on the uterus, which can cause strong muscle contractions, leading to uterine ischemia and hypoxia and causing severe pain. Similarly, a large amount of prostaglandins entering the blood circulation can cause gastrointestinal muscle contraction, so women with dysmenorrhea may also experience gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain.
