It is not a normal phenomenon that it hurts every time you have your period. There are two types of menstrual cramps, primary and secondary, and you need to look for the cause and treat it. When a woman is menstruating, due to pelvic congestion and the effect of prostaglandins, there may be symptoms such as abdominal cramps, lumbosacral pain, and possibly uterine contraction pain, which is usually not very painful. If your stomach hurts during menstruation, it means that dysmenorrhea is more serious. Dysmenorrhea is one of the most common gynecological symptoms and can be divided into two types: primary dysmenorrhea and secondary dysmenorrhea. Primary dysmenorrhea refers to dysmenorrhea without organic lesions of the genitals, which can account for more than 90% of dysmenorrhea; secondary dysmenorrhea is dysmenorrhea caused by organic pelvic diseases, which is relatively rare. If a woman has dysmenorrhea symptoms, she can choose medication to regulate under the guidance of a doctor, such as taking ibuprofen extended-release capsules and so on, to relieve the symptoms of dysmenorrhea. For primary dysmenorrhea, you can also take short-acting contraceptive pills normally. In case of secondary dysmenorrhea, medication or surgery can be taken according to the cause.
