Although dysmenorrhea is a common menstrual discomfort symptom among women of childbearing age, some women may experience more severe dysmenorrhea due to pathological reasons. Especially some women often experience severe menstrual pain after sexual intercourse. So, is there a relationship between female dysmenorrhea and sex?
Dysmenorrhea is a common clinical symptom in gynecology, and many women are prone to experiencing dysmenorrhea during their menstrual period. Some women may even experience severe dysmenorrhea. The dysmenorrhea that occurs during menstruation is closely related to the health of women's daily sexual life.
Some women do not pay attention to hygiene before, after, and during sexual activity, which can easily lead to endometritis, cervicitis, vaginitis, and other gynecological diseases. When these gynecological diseases are severe, they can affect women's normal menstrual flow, and therefore, they can also cause severe menstrual pain during menstruation due to pathological reasons.
Dysmenorrhea in women can be divided into primary and secondary types according to different causes. Generally, primary dysmenorrhea is not closely related to sexual activity, but most secondary dysmenorrhea can worsen symptoms due to the impact of sexual activity. For example, women with endometriosis may experience both progressive and persistent dysmenorrhea, which can worsen after sexual activity during the premenstrual period.
If a woman has severe menstrual pain on a regular basis and also experiences lower back pain, increased vaginal discharge, abnormal vaginal odor, etc. during non menstrual periods, these symptoms should be considered to be related to secondary menstrual pain. This should be diagnosed through gynecological examination, and for gynecological diseases that can cause dysmenorrhea, sexual activity should be prohibited during treatment to avoid worsening symptoms and hindering treatment.
