What level of pain is equivalent to dysmenorrhea

There is a difference in the level of dysmenorrhea in women, and on a 10-point pain scale, dysmenorrhea exists on a scale from 1 to 10 and cannot be generalized. A few women do not experience menstrual cramps during their period, but most women experience primary dysmenorrhea, where the pain is caused by sensitivity to prostaglandins as the uterus contracts to expel menstrual blood. Primary dysmenorrhea will be mild, with pain around level 3-4, but some women will have stronger pain that may reach level 5-6. Some women will have secondary dysmenorrhea due to organic lesions, with severe pain during menstruation, pallor, cold extremities, or even fainting and shock, with a higher level of pain that may reach grade 10. Therefore, the degree of dysmenorrhea is different for each woman and the degree of pain needs to be judged on a case-by-case basis. If the patient has frequent symptoms of severe menstrual cramps, it is recommended to seek timely medical treatment.
