Why do women have dysmenorrhea

Let's take a look at what dysmenorrhea is.

Dysmenorrhea refers to lower abdomen pain and swelling before menstruation, accompanied by backache or other discomfort. It is usually located on the lower abdomen pubic bone (the small belly we often say) can be radiated to the lumbee region and the inside of the thigh. In severe cases, symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and cold sweat.

According to the cause, dysmenorrhea can be divided into two categories, one is primary dysmenorrhea, and the other is secondary dysmenorrhea.

1) Primary dysmenorrhea

Also known as functional dysmenorrhea refers to the dysmenorrhea that women started from 6-12 months of menstrual tide, and germ-free organs. This type of dysmenorrhea is generally caused by uterine spasm contraction caused by the imbalance of local prostaglandin secretion in the uterine.

When the menstrual period comes, if the menstrual blood cannot flow out of the body, prostaglandin secreted by the endometrium to accelerates the contraction of the smoothing muscle of the uterine, and it is used to help the menstrual blood flow. This contraction will cause dysmenorrhea.

2) Secondary dysmenorrhea

Refers to the dysmenorrhea caused by the internal organic lesions of the pelvic cavity. Dysmenorrhea that occurs in early menstruation, but with age, such as endometriosis, such as endometriosis, uterine adenocia, etc., secondary dysmenorrhea needs to go to the hospital for diagnosis and determine the cause, and treat the cause.

Can having a baby cure dysmenorrhea?

The saying that the last generation of people often said "girls' dysmenorrhea, and children to treat diseases" are actually unreasonable.

Because there are indeed many people, after giving birth, the symptoms of dysmenorrhea have been reduced a lot, and some have no longer even dysmenorrhea. However, many people say that after giving birth, they are still dysmenorrhea. Compared with the child, they have not changed at all.

What is going on? The reason is that having children can have a completely different effect on dysmenorrhea caused by different reasons.

Giveting children can greatly alleviate prototype dysmenorrhea. In the process of "in October", a series of changes will occur in female reproductive organs. The uterus becomes larger, the reproductive tract expansion, the endocrine environment changes, and the dysmenorrhea is lifted. The dysmenorrhea caused by related factors will be relieved and even disappear.

Secondary dysmenorrhea is due to organic lesions in the pelvic cavity, such as endometriosis and uterine adenomia.

In general, endometriosis, in general, it should have grown in the endometrium tissue of the uterine cavity and the grassroots level of the uterine. Some of them run to the outside of the uterine cavity. Any part.

When the menstruation came to the tide, the endometrium inside and the outside of the uterine cavity shed bleeding at the same time. The endometrium and bleeding from the outer outer intravenous cavity could not be discharged through the vagina. It could only gather in the body and thus suffered pain.

In the process of pregnancy and breastfeeding, due to changes in hormone levels, the ectopic endometrium lesions will shrink to a certain extent. After giving birth to a child, dysmenorrhea may be slightly reduced, but as menstruation recovers, the lesions recur, dysmenorrhea will still occur or even worsen.

It can be seen that having children can only alleviate some primary dysmenorrhea and temporarily alleviate the secondary dysmenorrhea caused by certain organic lesions, but most of the secondary dysmenorrhea will be after giving birth to a child, even after a period of time, it will still be after a period of time. relapse.

Therefore, some symptoms of children's dysmenorrhea have been greatly reduced, while others have not changed because the causes of dysmenorrhea are different.

Dysmenorrhea, what should you do

First, relax, don't be anxious. Many women fall into anxiety before menstruation, and the bad emotions have exacerbated dysmenorrhea. To relax moderately and treat it frankly, you can use work or other entertainment activities to divert your attention, which can relieve dysmenorrhea to a certain extent.

Second, develop a healthy diet and schedule, and maintain reasonable nutritional intake. Before and after menstruation, try to avoid cold and spicy food. Avoid staying up late and use a healthy, vibrant body to welcome the arrival of menstruation.

Finally, clear the cause of dysmenorrhea and active treatment. When women have dysmenorrhea, they should first go to a regular hospital for treatment to clarify the cause of dysmenorrhea and treat symptomatic treatment.

In short, if you have a baby to relieve dysmenorrhea, the answer is not absolute.

The causes of dysmenorrhea are different, and the conclusions are different. Only by clarifying the cause of dysmenorrhea and the right medicine can the dysmenorrhea effectively relieved.
