Post-marriage dysmenorrhea alerts uterine disease

We often hear the elderly say: Dysmenorrhea is okay, it will get better after you get married and have children. Is this true? What are the causes of dysmenorrhea?

Dysmenorrhea is divided into primary dysmenorrhea and secondary dysmenorrhea. Most dysmenorrhea in young girls is primary dysmenorrhea. Primary dysmenorrhea usually starts from menarche. Some of the symptoms are related to the angle of the uterus, such as excessive anteversion or retroversion of the uterus; some are related to the narrowness of the menstrual blood channel.

Getting married to cure dysmenorrhea is unscientific

This situation will change when girls become adults, get married and have children. However, there is no necessary connection between dysmenorrhea and marriage and childbirth, and it is unscientific to say that marriage and childbirth can cure dysmenorrhea.

Some women experience relief from dysmenorrhea after marriage, probably because the body's neuroendocrine system is not yet mature during adolescence, and endocrine secretion is irregular. In particular, many dysmenorrheas occur in the first year of menstruation, and as the period develops, the pain goes away. Similarly, after marriage and childbirth, the body's neuroregulatory system gradually stabilizes, endocrine secretion becomes more regular, and primary dysmenorrhea will decrease or even disappear.

Beware of reproductive system diseases due to dysmenorrhea

Married women mostly suffer from secondary dysmenorrhea, which is often accompanied by low back pain, fever, increased menstrual flow, lower abdominal pain, increased body temperature, the color of menstrual blood becomes light brown or the odor changes, the pain becomes more and more intense, and lasts longer and longer, and even symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea may occur. These secondary dysmenorrhea may be caused by retroverted uterus or other diseases, such as pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis, and endometriosis.

Secondary dysmenorrhea caused by uterine disease is very different from primary dysmenorrhea. Primary dysmenorrhea is painful at the beginning of menstruation, with even intervals of pain and a similar degree of pain each time. Secondary dysmenorrhea is painful some time after the start of menstruation, and each time is more painful than the previous one.

Be careful when taking painkillers on your own

Pay more attention to menstrual hygiene, maintain a stable and good mood, avoid strenuous exercise and excessive fatigue, avoid bathing and swimming, avoid raw and cold food, etc. Avoid excessive fatigue during menstruation, eat less cold, raw or irritating food, which can reduce the occurrence of dysmenorrhea to a certain extent.

In addition, excessive study and work pressure and depressed mood can also cause dysmenorrhea. Therefore, avoiding fear, anxiety and tension before and after menstruation can also play a certain role in preventing dysmenorrhea.

Be careful when taking painkillers on your own during dysmenorrhea to avoid covering up the real cause of the disease by taking painkillers.
