What is the cause of menstrual dysmenorrhea? Menstruation is an index to measure women's health. Normal menstrual bleeding is about 20-60 ml. If it hurts, it is severe dysmenorrhea. Pay attention to keep your body clean during menstruation. The following are the causes of menstrual dysmenorrhea for reference only.
What causes dysmenorrhea during physiological period? 1 1, mainly.
Half of women have dysmenorrhea, but they are all primary dysmenorrhea, about 50%, which is physiological. Some discomfort during menstruation, such as lower abdominal pain, are normal physiological phenomena. Everyone will have some discomfort during menstruation, but everyone feels differently. That is to say, dysmenorrhea affecting normal life is a disease.
2. Uterine dysplasia
Uterine dysplasia is easy to be complicated with abnormal blood supply, which leads to uterine ischemia and dysmenorrhea.
3. Thin liquid
The upper abdominal muscles have the function of supporting abdominal viscera. If these muscles are not well developed, the function of supporting related organs will deteriorate, so that the feeling of pain will be produced due to the traction of organ weight.
4. Nervous
As soon as menstruation comes, I feel irritable, anxious, nervous and afraid, so I feel more sensitive to pain than the average person. Even if you feel a little uncomfortable, you will feel pain. The more nervous you are, the more painful it will be. This kind of pain is mainly caused or aggravated by psychological effects.
5. Endometriosis
It is very similar to the symptoms of primary dysmenorrhea.
If the patient has a family history of progressive dysmenorrhea or endometriosis (one of the mother or sister suffers from this disease), laparoscopic examination should be performed as soon as possible to make a clear diagnosis, and conservative surgery should be performed as soon as possible to preserve fertility.
6. Hormone effect
Menstruation usually comes about two weeks after ovulation. After ovulation, corpus luteum is gradually produced, and lutein can secrete progesterone. Excessive progesterone production can make the cervix contract strongly and affect the menstrual blood outflow in the uterus. There is much menstrual blood in the uterus, which stimulates the uterus and makes it contract strongly, thus causing pain.
7. Cervical spinal stenosis
The main reason is that menstrual outflow is blocked, causing dysmenorrhea.
8. The content of prostaglandin (PG) in endometrium and menstrual blood increased.
Prostaglandin E2(PGE2) can act on the contraction of uterine muscle fibers and cause dysmenorrhea. The content of prostaglandin in endometrial tissue of dysmenorrhea patients was significantly higher than that of normal women.
9. Excessive uterine contraction
Although the uterine contraction pressure of patients with dysmenorrhea is basically the same as that of normal women (the normal pressure is about 4.9Kpa), the duration of uterine contraction is long and it is often difficult to relax completely, so dysmenorrhea caused by excessive uterine contraction occurs.
10, abnormal uterine contraction
Dysmenorrhea patients often have abnormal uterine contraction, which often leads to uterine smooth muscle ischemia, which in turn can cause uterine muscle spasmodic contraction, thus causing pain and dysmenorrhea.
1 1, excessive exercise
Aggressive exercise, cold, wet cold, etc. It is easy to cause dysmenorrhea.
12, gynecological diseases
Such as endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, adenomyosis and hysteromyoma. Placement of intrauterine devices is also easy to cause dysmenorrhea.
13, bad air.
The air is not easily stimulated by certain industrial or chemical odors, such as gasoline and toilet water, which cause dysmenorrhea.
14, genetic factors.
Types of dysmenorrhea
Just as headache can be divided into nervous headache and physical headache, dysmenorrhea is not only accidental pain, sometimes abdominal distension pain, sometimes heaving pain, sometimes convulsions, and sometimes the whole stomach hurts like a knife, which makes people confused about where it hurts the most. Distinguishing the types of dysmenorrhea is conducive to the right medicine!
1, dysmenorrhea can be divided into primary and secondary.
Secondary dysmenorrhea occurs two years after menarche. The age and course of dysmenorrhea of different diseases are different, and the occurrence of dysmenorrhea is different in the morning and evening.
2. Chinese medicine generally divides dysmenorrhea into two types:
First, demonstration: Qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome, mostly premenstrual or pain onset. Such as abdominal pain, irregular menstruation, little amount, purple color, dark mass, abdominal pain relieved after blood clot discharge, chest and hypochondriac breast pain or swelling pain; Cold-dampness stagnation syndrome mostly occurs before menstruation or at the beginning of pain. Cold pain in the lower abdomen, even pain in the back, slow fever, less menstrual flow, dark and lumpy color.
Second, deficiency syndrome: mostly at the end of menstrual period, abdominal pain after menstruation, persistent pain, warm pressure, pale menstrual color, less menstrual blood, severe cold, pale face, palpitation and dizziness.
Methods of relieving dysmenorrhea

Treatment of dysmenorrhea
Dysmenorrhea always makes female friends fidgety and uncomfortable to lie down. They always want to find ways to alleviate their pain. Taking medicine and injections or drinking brown sugar water is a good way to relieve pain. But if dysmenorrhea is serious, it is best to treat it in time. After all, the solution is to treat the symptoms rather than the root cause. So, what are the treatments for dysmenorrhea?
Dietotherapy: You can improve your health by eating more food. For example, women should supplement some foods that are conducive to "water travel" during menstruation, such as apples, mutton, chicken, brown sugar, red dates, bean curd skin, coix seed, milk, motherwort, angelica longan and so on. In order to keep the nutritional balance, we should eat fresh vegetables and fruits at the same time. In this special period, we should eat more tonics, drink more tonics, such as black-bone chicken soup, and avoid eating foods that stimulate coolness.
Drug therapy: Analgesic, sedative and spasmolytic drugs can inhibit the peripheral parasympathetic nervous system.
Oral contraceptives: combined treatment of estrogen and progesterone in contraceptives can also achieve the purpose of inhibiting ovulation and making dysmenorrhea disappear.
Prostaglandin antagonist: 1 daily before and during menstruation 1 time, which can reduce uterine peristalsis, reduce uterine contraction frequency, reduce intrauterine pressure, and obviously relieve pain, mainly by antagonizing prostaglandin secretion. Western medicine takes effect quickly, but it treats the symptoms rather than the root cause. Traditional Chinese medicine is slow to take effect, but insisting on conditioning will have a good effect.
Massage: There is a "Taichong point" between the big toe and the second toe of our foot. Gently point to the right Taichong point with your left thumb, and gently point to the left Taichong point with your right thumb. The inside of the calf, 3 inches above the tip of the ankle and behind the medial edge of the tibia, is the "Sanyinjiaohui point"; Bend the leg, the inner thigh and the medial end of patellar base are 2 inches, and the bulge of the medial head of quadriceps femoris is Xue Hai point; The location of the uterine point is about 4 inches below the abdomen and umbilicus and 3 inches from the midline. When massaging, press the uterine points on both sides with the index finger and middle finger of both hands, apply a little pressure, and gently massage until you feel sore.
Exercise therapy: During menstruation, people with dysmenorrhea are often accompanied by nervousness, so at this time, you must relax. Yoga is a good relaxation method and can be done indoors. Playing a relaxing piece of music is good for releasing stress and relieving pain.
What is the cause of dysmenorrhea during physiological period? 2 1.

2. Some young women do not pay attention to the maintenance of the physiological period, do not avoid eating, eat a lot of cold food, causing excessive uterine contraction, which in turn leads to dysmenorrhea;
3. Some women's uterus shape is narrow, the cervical canal is too narrow, and the physiological period will cause poor blood circulation, so there will be symptoms of dysmenorrhea;
4. Women who often stay up late to play mobile phones or chase dramas, due to irregular work and rest, will lead to endocrine disorders and imbalance of hormones in the body, thus causing dysmenorrhea;
