Menstruation is a common physiological phenomenon in women entering puberty. Due to the periodic shedding of the endometrium, it leads to periodic vaginal bleeding. Generally, there are no obvious symptoms, and some women may experience lower back and abdominal pain during this period, known as dysmenorrhea. So, what are the reasons for the severe menstrual pain in women?
The probability of dysmenorrhea in women varies with age, with the most common occurring between the ages of 16 and 18, and the lower the probability of occurrence with increasing age. It is often related to organic diseases of the prostate and pelvic cavity, and is often manifested as lower abdominal pain, which is usually spastic. Severe pain may cause symptoms such as pale complexion, nausea, and vomiting, and selective treatment is needed according to the degree of pain. Generally, psychological therapy is sufficient, and severe cases may require surgical treatment.
If the degree of dysmenorrhea is severe, there is a higher possibility of pathological causes, such as endometriosis to the uterine muscle layer in women, which can worsen dysmenorrhea. Endometriosis can lead to chocolate cysts or uterine fibroids in the ovaries, which can affect the normal contraction of the female uterus and cause dysmenorrhea. Pelvic inflammatory disease can cause congestion in the pelvic cavity during menstruation and exacerbate dysmenorrhea.
Having dysmenorrhea is not scary and requires adjustment during this period. If the pain is severe, it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination in a timely manner. Pelvic ultrasound diagnosis and targeted treatment can be used to relieve dysmenorrhea. Medications such as promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, supplementing blood and qi also have a certain effect on dysmenorrhea. Daily attention should be paid to keeping warm and avoiding uterine coldness.
