Whether or not dysmenorrhea occurs is related to the individual’s constitution and is generally not inherited. Primary dysmenorrhea is pain in the genital organs without organic lesions, mainly related to changes in local endocrine levels and mental factors. Primary dysmenorrhea is common in adolescence and often develops within 1-2 years after menarche, with pain in the abdomen as the main symptom. In contrast, secondary dysmenorrhea refers to dysmenorrhea secondary to organic diseases of the pelvis, such as endometriosis, adenomyosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, etc. It is most often seen in women of childbearing age, and often develops several years after menarche. Both types of dysmenorrhea are basically not heritable, but if the mother has dysmenorrhea, the daughter will have a higher probability of having dysmenorrhea compared to others. This is mainly due to the fact that daughters and mothers have similar living environments and habits, which have a tendency to cause the same disease. Women with dysmenorrhea should usually pay attention to personal hygiene and cleanliness, change and wash their underwear regularly during their periods, avoid eating cold, spicy and stimulating foods, and pay attention to keeping the abdomen warm to avoid cold stimulation to aggravate abdominal pain. Also pay attention to eliminating tension, relieving mental stress, and ensuring enough rest and sleep, all of which can relieve the symptoms of dysmenorrhea.
