What disease causes dysmenorrhea?

Dysmenorrhea is one of the common diseases among female friends, and it brings us great troubles. But do you have any knowledge about dysmenorrhea? Do you know what disease causes dysmenorrhea? Regarding this issue, let's take a look at the relevant knowledge about diseases that cause dysmenorrhea.

The main diseases that cause dysmenorrhea are as follows:

(I) Adenomyosis

A benign disease caused by the invasion of the endometrium into the uterine muscle layer. Dysmenorrhea is one of the typical symptoms of this disease. There may also be increased menstrual flow or prolonged menstruation. Gynecological examination shows that the uterus is uniformly enlarged and spherical, with a hard texture, generally about the size of a 2-month pregnancy. There may be mild tenderness.

(ii) Pelvic endometriosis

Dysmenorrhea is the main symptom of endometriosis. The ectopic endometrial tissue in the ovaries, uterine cuboid ligaments, uterorectal fossa and pelvic peritoneum undergoes cyclical changes during the menstrual cycle as well as being affected by ovarian hormones.

(III) Uterine fibroids

Dysmenorrhea is not the main symptom of uterine fibroids, but submucosal fibroids can cause spasmodic pain during menstruation due to stimulation of uterine contraction. Patients often have menorrhagia, prolonged menstruation or irregular vaginal bleeding. Pelvic examination can reveal varying degrees of enlargement of the uterus, with a smooth surface or nodular protrusions.

(IV) Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease

Strengthen exercise Lower abdominal pain and infertility are the main symptoms of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease. During menstruation, due to pelvic congestion or acute inflammation induced by menstruation, abdominal pain can be aggravated. Most patients have a history of infertility and acute pelvic inflammatory disease. Pelvic examination shows that the uterus is mostly posterior, with poor mobility or even completely fixed.

(V) Reproductive tract malformations

During embryonic development, one side of the mesonephric duct can develop well, forming a well-developed unicornuate uterus. However, the other side of the mesonephric duct develops poorly, forming a rudimentary horn or primordial uterus, which is not connected to the opposite side and does not lead to the body. Primordial uterus generally has no uterine cavity, or has a uterine cavity but lacks endometrium; if the primordial uterus has functional response, manifested as periodic bleeding, it can cause dysmenorrhea due to blood accumulation in the uterine cavity.

(VI) Intrauterine contraceptive device

Dysmenorrhea can also be seen in women with intrauterine contraceptive devices. This type of dysmenorrhea may be caused by an increase in prostaglandins produced by the endometrium, or it may be that the contraceptive device stimulates the rejection contraction of the uterine muscles, leading to spasmodic pain in the lower abdomen. Patients often have discomfort in the lower abdomen or lumbar region, and their menstrual symptoms are aggravated, manifested as dysmenorrhea. Improper placement of the contraceptive device or excessive size can also easily cause uterine contractions, leading to lower abdominal pain and dysmenorrhea.

(VII) Pelvic venous congestion syndrome

This disease is a female internal reproductive organ disease caused by chronic pelvic venous congestion. The main clinical manifestations include pelvic distension, lower abdominal and lumbar pain, and are often accompanied by menorrhagia, increased leucorrhea and dysmenorrhea. The symptoms are often aggravated after fatigue, prolonged sitting or standing during sexual intercourse, or constipation. Some patients also have breast tenderness and bladder and rectal irritation symptoms.
