Five common causes of dysmenorrhea

It is beneficial for female friends to understand and know the causes of dysmenorrhea, which can help patients accept the treatment of dysmenorrhea more actively. What are the common causes of dysmenorrhea ? Let's talk about the common causes of dysmenorrhea.

Common causes of dysmenorrhea include:

1. Increased prostaglandin (PG) content in the endometrium and menstrual blood: This is a common cause of dysmenorrhea. Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) can act on uterine muscle fibers to cause them to contract and cause dysmenorrhea. The prostaglandin content in the endometrial tissue of dysmenorrhea patients is significantly higher than that of normal women.

2. Excessive contraction of the uterus: This is also a common cause of dysmenorrhea. Although the uterine contraction pressure of patients with dysmenorrhea is basically the same as that of normal women (normal pressure is about 4.9Kpa), the uterine contraction lasts longer and is often difficult to relax completely, so dysmenorrhea caused by excessive uterine contraction occurs.

3. Abnormal uterine contraction: Patients with dysmenorrhea often have abnormal uterine contraction, which often leads to ischemia of uterine smooth muscle. Uterine muscle ischemia can cause spasmodic contraction of uterine muscle, resulting in pain, which is also a common cause of dysmenorrhea.

4. Gynecological diseases are also common causes of dysmenorrhea, such as endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, adenomyosis, uterine fibroids, etc. Placing an intrauterine device (commonly known as an IUD) in the uterus can also easily cause dysmenorrhea.

5. Dysmenorrhea may be caused by menarche, psychological stress, long-term sitting leading to poor blood circulation, poor menstrual blood flow, and a love of cold drinks and pears and other raw and cold foods.

The above is an introduction to the common causes of dysmenorrhea, I hope it will be helpful to everyone. Once you suffer from dysmenorrhea, you must go to the hospital for treatment in time to avoid delaying the condition.
