Dysmenorrhea – painful menstrual cycles
Monthly menstrual periods are a normal part of a woman’s life, and it is normal to feel minor discomfort before and during menstruation.
Dysmenorrhoea – Menstrual cramps are throbbing or cramping pains in the lower abdomen and is characterized by moderate to severe pain during menstruation.
Many women have menstrual cramps just before and during their menstrual periods.
For some women, the discomfort is merely annoying. For others, menstrual cramps can be severe enough to interfere with everyday activities for a few days every month.
The uterus, the muscular organ where a baby grows, contracts throughout your menstrual cycle. During menstruation, the uterus contracts more strongly. If the uterus contracts too strongly, it can press against nearby blood vessels, cutting off the supply of oxygen to muscle tissue.
Dysmenorrhea types and possible causes:
- Primary dysmenorrhea is the most common cause of menstrual discomfort and is mainly due to increased activity of the hormone prostaglandin, which is produced in the uterus.
- Secondary dysmenorrhea occurs due to other problems in the uterus or pelvic organs, such as endometriosis, fibroids, IUD, PID – pelvic inflammatory disease, PMS – premenstrual syndrome, sexually transmitted infection, stress, and anxiety etc.
- Endometriosis: The tissue that lines your uterus becomes implanted outside your uterus, most commonly on the fallopian tubes, ovaries or the tissue lining your pelvis.
- Uterine fibroids – Noncancerous, benign growths (tumours) in the wall of the uterus can cause pain.
- Adenomyosis. The tissue that lines your uterus begins to grow into the muscular walls of the uterus.
- PID’s – Pelvic inflammatory disease of the female reproductive organs is usually caused by sexually transmitted bacteria.
- Cervical stenosis. In some women, the opening of the cervix is small enough to impede menstrual flow, causing a painful increase of pressure within the uterus.
- PCOS – Ovarian cysts
- Higher levels of prostaglandins (hormones-like substances) are associated with more-severe menstrual cramps
- Polyps in the pelvic cavity
- Frequent urinary tract and vaginal infections
Other associated risk factors, if
