1. Dysmenorrhea is divided into secondary and primary dysmenorrhea. Dysmenorrhea caused by lesions in the reproductive organs is called secondary dysmenorrhea; dysmenorrhea without organic lesions in the reproductive organs is called primary dysmenorrhea. Primary dysmenorrhea is pain at the beginning of the menstrual cycle, which may be related to hormone levels in the body.
2. Dysmenorrhea is a common and frequently-occurring disease in gynecology. It has many causes, complex pathogenesis, high recurrence, and difficult treatment. It is especially common among unmarried young women and early menstrual girls. It is manifested as women's menstrual period.

Its high incidence, wide range, close cycle, and great pain have seriously affected the work and study of women and reduced the quality of life.
3. The impact of dysmenorrhea on fertility.
Primary dysmenorrhea generally has no impact on fertility. More than 90% of primary dysmenorrhea is related to mental and psychological factors. Mental stress, overwork, and changes in living environment are the main causes. In addition, the position of the uterus is too flexed, the menstrual blood flow is not smooth, being exposed to the rain, wading in the water, or eating cold drinks can cause dysmenorrhea. Most of this type of dysmenorrhea will gradually relieve or heal on its own with a little treatment or with age. However, some dysmenorrhea is secondary to certain gynecological organic diseases, such as pelvic inflammatory disease, uterine fibroids, endometriosis, etc., which requires attention and the cause should be identified and treated as early as possible.
Some secondary dysmenorrhea will have an impact on fertility, such as uterine dysplasia, endometriosis, endocrine abnormalities, etc. The causes are complex, such as induced abortion, induced labor surgery, postoperative cervical stenosis or atresia, or retroflexion of the uterus, which blocks the outflow of menstrual blood, causing endometrial fragments to flow backward with the menstrual blood, pass through the fallopian tube, and be planted in multiple parts of the pelvic cavity. All can lead to morbidity and then cause dysmenorrhea and infertility. Women with this kind of situation should avoid or reduce artificial abortion and induced labor surgeries, and promptly correct the posterior displacement of the uterus, which can prevent and reduce the occurrence of dysmenorrhea and infertility.
4. During the treatment, patients with dysmenorrhea should pay attention to self-care. During menstruation, they should keep warm from the cold, avoid being exposed to rain and water, and avoid eating raw and cold foods; they should have a stable mood and a happy spirit; a reasonable and balanced diet; a regular life and fatigue Combine leisure and relaxation to ensure sleep; participate in moderate exercise, but avoid heavy work and strenuous exercise. Doing the above points will help reduce the onset of dysmenorrhea and promote recovery.
