Experts analyze the common causes of dysmenorrhea for you

Dysmenorrhea is a gynecological disease that occurs before and after menstruation. When it occurs, patients with dysmenorrhea will experience varying degrees of pain, and the pain will be aggravated by cold. What are the common causes of dysmenorrhea ? Here are some common causes of dysmenorrhea.

In general, the common causes of dysmenorrhea are:

(1) Contraceptive status: There is a certain relationship between the cause of dysmenorrhea and tool contraception, especially the placement of intrauterine devices (IUDs), which can often aggravate dysmenorrhea. This may be because after the placement of the IUD, the production of prostaglandins (pg) in the endometrial tissue increases, leading to aggravated dysmenorrhea. Contraceptive pills contain progesterone, which has the effect of relaxing the uterine smooth muscle, so it can relieve the pain symptoms caused by spasms.

(2) The influence of menstrual cycle and duration: This is also a common cause of dysmenorrhea. Generally, the severity of dysmenorrhea is not affected by the length of the menstrual cycle. However, since dysmenorrhea itself manifests as abdominal pain during menstruation, if the menstrual period is longer, the pain will often last longer. This is most prominent in patients with endometriosis.

(3) Inadequate hygiene during menstruation, pregnancy, and the postpartum period; starting sexual life too early; having many sexual partners (after becoming sexually liberated) are all common causes of dysmenorrhea.

(4) Other factors: Some people report that obese people may be more prone to dysmenorrhea. There are also reports that smokers often have more severe dysmenorrhea than non-smokers, and the severity of dysmenorrhea often increases with the amount of smoking. This may be because smoking often causes vasoconstriction, leading to ischemia and pain. These may be the causes of dysmenorrhea.

The above is an introduction to the common causes of dysmenorrhea. I believe everyone has some understanding of this. Once you suffer from dysmenorrhea, you must go to the hospital for treatment in time to avoid missing the best time for treatment.
