How to clearly distinguish between dysmenorrhea and irregular menstruation

Many female friends experience lower abdominal pain during their menstrual period, which is a common symptom of dysmenorrhea. However, many women do not know enough about dysmenorrhea, so some patients worry whether dysmenorrhea is irregular menstruation. Experts remind you that dysmenorrhea and irregular menstruation are both phenomena during women's menstrual period, but the symptoms of dysmenorrhea and irregular menstruation are different.

Some of the symptoms of female dysmenorrhea are physiological and have no cause. We call it primary dysmenorrhea. It usually occurs about half a year after menstruation and can be relieved with some medicine. However, secondary dysmenorrhea is dysmenorrhea caused by other reasons, such as endometriosis. This is called secondary dysmenorrhea. The greater factor of secondary dysmenorrhea may be due to certain diseases. Dysmenorrhea is also a symptom of menstruation and needs to be treated in the hospital.

We can clearly distinguish these two diseases by understanding the symptoms of irregular menstruation and dysmenorrhea. Irregular menstruation refers to the concept of menstruation caused by various reasons, including early or late menarche, changes in menstrual period and menstrual volume, and is one of the most common symptoms of women's diseases. Generally speaking, there are three main causes of irregular menstruation: first, neuroendocrine dysfunction, namely menstrual disease; second, organic lesions or drugs, including local inflammation, tumors, developmental abnormalities, and malnutrition of the reproductive organs; finally, malformations of the uterus itself, congenital absence of a vagina, and congenital vaginal atresia can all cause irregular menstruation.

Through the above understanding of the symptoms of dysmenorrhea and irregular menstruation, I believe that readers have a preliminary understanding of how to distinguish between dysmenorrhea and irregular menstruation. Dysmenorrhea is not the same as irregular menstruation. Patients must take appropriate measures according to their own symptoms to effectively control the disease.
