Dysmenorrhea is a common problem among many women and is often not taken seriously. However, if the pain persists for a long time or is severe, it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination, identify the cause, and receive timely treatment to avoid causing other illnesses. But why do women experience menstrual cramps?
Dysmenorrhea is generally divided into two types: primary dysmenorrhea and secondary dysmenorrhea. The causes of primary dysmenorrhea are usually neuropathic pain caused by uterine contractions and local ischemia, or due to poor uterine development or cervical stenosis.
Abnormal uterine position caused by endocrine disorders. The causes of secondary dysmenorrhea are generally due to mental stress, poor lifestyle habits, organic lesions (common pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis, uterine fibroids), etc.
Of course, the reasons for dysmenorrhea are not limited to these, such as
1. Due to cold weather or insufficient clothing, catching a cold can cause stagnation of qi and blood, making it difficult for menstrual blood to flow smoothly and exacerbating dysmenorrhea.
2. Excessive menstrual bleeding leads to the loss of blood calcium, causing muscle spasms and contractions in the uterine wall, resulting in pain.
3. Excessive physical labor can worsen bleeding and dysmenorrhea.
As a woman, I have to say that I have endured too much pain. There are always a few days every month when I feel depressed, and some even have abdominal pain during my menstrual period, which is commonly known as dysmenorrhea. Dysmenorrhea undoubtedly adds insult to injury for women.
What should I pay attention to when experiencing menstrual cramps?
1. During menstruation, it is important to pay more attention to hygiene and eat less raw, cold, and stimulating foods.
2. Regular physical exercise should be strengthened, especially for those with weak constitutions, and attention should be paid to improving their nutritional status.
3. Don't be overly nervous during menstruation and maintain a good psychological state.
Dysmenorrhea is a common problem among women and a very common gynecological disease. Women must take measures to protect themselves.
