Dysmenorrhea, which refers to the presence of dysmenorrhea during menstruation, may be caused by physiological factors, gynecological diseases, uterine reproductive tract abnormalities, and intrauterine placement of birth control devices.
1. Physiological factors: During menstruation, frequent contractions of the uterus due to a gradual increase in the prostaglandin content of the endometrium can easily cause dysmenorrhea, which is a mild clinical symptom that can mostly improve on its own.
2. Gynecological diseases: for example, endometriosis, adenomyosis, pelvic infection, etc. These gynecological diseases may be aggravated during menstruation, which will cause secondary dysmenorrhea and the symptoms are more serious.
3. Abnormalities of the uterine reproductive tract: for example, vaginal atresia or hymenal atresia, which can cause dysmenorrhea when menstrual flow is blocked, leading to uterine contractions.
4. Intrauterine device (IUD): In order to prevent pregnancy for a long period of time, IUD is placed in the uterus, which leads to localized damage to the uterus or secondary infections, which can easily cause dysmenorrhea.
When dysmenorrhea occurs, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time for examination and treatment, and decide on the treatment plan after a clear diagnosis.
