What causes severe dysmenorrhea?

We all know that a woman has her period once a month, which usually lasts for five days. If she has dysmenorrhea, she will have to spend five days a month in pain. There are many menstrual periods in a lifetime. If she has dysmenorrhea every time, it is still very painful for a woman and it is also a difficult process. So what causes dysmenorrhea?

(1) Cervical stenosis mainly causes obstruction of menstrual outflow, leading to dysmenorrhea.

(2) Uterine hypoplasia Poor uterine development is prone to abnormal blood supply, causing uterine ischemia and hypoxia, leading to dysmenorrhea.

(3) 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.

(4) Psychological and neurological factors: Some women are overly sensitive to pain.

(5) Genetic factors: Dysmenorrhea in daughters is related to dysmenorrhea in mothers.

(6) Endocrine factors: Menstrual abdominal pain is related to increased progesterone in the luteal phase.

(7) The level of prostaglandins (PG) in the endometrium and menstrual blood increases. 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.

(8) Excessive 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.

(9) Abnormal 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.

(10) Gynecological 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.

(11) Dysmenorrhea is caused by psychological stress, long periods of sitting, poor blood circulation, poor menstrual blood flow, and a preference for cold foods during the onset of menstruation in young girls.

(12) Strenuous exercise during menstruation, exposure to wind, cold, dampness, etc. can easily cause dysmenorrhea.

Many people do not understand menstruation. During menstruation, we must pay special attention to genital hygiene habits and use sanitary napkins with guaranteed quality, otherwise it will cause gynecological diseases. During menstruation, we must refrain from sexual intercourse, keep warm, rest on time, maintain a good mood, etc.
