What causes dysmenorrhea in women

Women are prone to dysmenorrhea before they give birth. When this happens, women will experience unbearable pain. If effective treatment and relief are not carried out in time, this situation may lead to other more serious diseases. Dysmenorrhea usually eases after childbirth. So what causes dysmenorrhea in women? Let’s talk about it below.

There are many factors that cause dysmenorrhea, the most common ones are as follows:

⑴ Cervical stenosis is mainly caused by obstruction of menstrual outflow, which causes dysmenorrhea.

⑵ Uterine hypoplasia Poor uterine development is prone to abnormal blood supply, causing uterine ischemia and hypoxia and causing dysmenorrhea.

⑶ Abnormal uterine position: If a woman's uterus is extremely retroflexed or anteflexed, it may affect the smooth flow of menstrual blood and cause dysmenorrhea.

⑷ Mental and neurological factors: Some women are overly sensitive to pain.

⑸ Genetic factors: There is a certain relationship between a daughter's dysmenorrhea and her mother's dysmenorrhea.

⑹ Endocrine factors: Abdominal pain during menstruation is related to the increase of progesterone in the luteal phase.

⑺The content of prostaglandins (PG) in the endometrium and menstrual blood increases, and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) acts on uterine muscle fibers to cause them to contract and cause dysmenorrhea. The prostaglandin content in the endometrial tissue of menstrual patients is significantly increased compared with that of women with normal uterine function.

⑻Excessive contraction of the uterus. Although the uterine contraction pressure of patients with dysmenorrhea is basically the same as that of normal women (normal pressure is about 4.9Kpa), the uterine contraction lasts longer and is often difficult to relax completely, so dysmenorrhea occurs due to excessive uterine contraction.

⑼Abnormal uterine contraction. Patients with dysmenorrhea often have abnormal uterine contractions, which often lead to ischemia of uterine smooth muscles. Uterine muscle ischemia can cause spasmodic contractions of the uterine muscles, resulting in pain and dysmenorrhea.

⑽Gynecological diseases such as endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, adenomyosis, uterine fibroids, etc. Placing an intrauterine contraceptive device (commonly known as an IUD) in the uterus can also easily cause dysmenorrhea.

⑾ When a girl has her first menstruation, she may suffer from dysmenorrhea due to great psychological pressure, long periods of sitting which lead to poor blood circulation, poor menstrual blood flow, and a preference for cold foods.

⑿ Vigorous exercise during menstruation, exposure to wind, cold, dampness, etc. can easily cause dysmenorrhea.

⒀ Bad air quality and the stimulation of certain industrial or chemical odors, such as gasoline, perfume, etc., can cause dysmenorrhea.

After understanding the causes of female dysmenorrhea, everyone will know what causes women's dysmenorrhea. If you pay attention to maintenance in your daily life, you can effectively relieve and treat women's dysmenorrhea. If you do not pay attention to dysmenorrhea, it may cause other more serious physical symptoms, so you must be extra careful.
