Can dysmenorrhea cause female infertility?

When it comes to dysmenorrhea, everyone is familiar with it, because there are always one or two women around you who suffer from dysmenorrhea. Dysmenorrhea is very harmful. Many women even have their normal life and work affected by dysmenorrhea. Many women think that as long as they endure it at the time, or if they really can’t stand it, they can just take some painkillers. In fact, women need timely treatment, because this disease can cause some symptoms. Many women worry about whether dysmenorrhea will lead to infertility. Let me introduce it in detail below.

Dysmenorrhea refers to the pain in the lower abdomen or waist during and before and after menstruation. In severe cases, it is accompanied by nausea, vomiting, cold sweats, cold hands and feet, etc. The pain caused by menstruation can cause women's mood and mentality to fluctuate, seriously affecting their normal life. So, what are the effects of dysmenorrhea on women's fertility?

Dysmenorrhea is a problem that many women suffer from. Some women cannot even lead a normal life because of dysmenorrhea. Although dysmenorrhea is not a serious disease, it cannot be endured. It is the most obvious external manifestation of uterine abnormality. What is the impact of dysmenorrhea on female fertility? It does not mean that all dysmenorrhea will lead to infertility, but dysmenorrhea caused by gynecological diseases such as endometriosis and adenomyosis may cause infertility, which needs to be confirmed after examination.

Dysmenorrhea is divided into secondary dysmenorrhea and primary dysmenorrhea. Dysmenorrhea caused by lesions in the reproductive organs is called secondary dysmenorrhea; dysmenorrhea without organic lesions in the reproductive organs is called primary dysmenorrhea. Primary dysmenorrhea is pain as soon as menstruation comes, which may be related to the hormone levels in the body, and the specific cause is unknown. Primary dysmenorrhea generally has no effect on fertility. However, some secondary dysmenorrhea will have an impact on fertility, such as uterine hypoplasia, endometriosis, endocrine abnormalities, etc. The causes are relatively complicated. For example, artificial abortion, induced labor, postoperative cervical stenosis or occlusion, or retroversion and retroflexion of the uterus that block the outflow of menstrual blood, causing endometrial fragments to flow back with menstrual blood and implant in multiple parts of the pelvic cavity through the fallopian tubes, all of which can lead to the onset of the disease and subsequently cause dysmenorrhea and infertility.

Through the above introduction, we know that dysmenorrhea will lead to infertility if not treated in time. It is recommended that women take timely prevention and treatment. To prevent dysmenorrhea, doctors generally recommend that women pay attention to a lighter diet and eat more protein-rich foods. Also, pay attention to personal hygiene during menstruation, pay attention to rest, don't overwork, and prevent colds during menstruation.
