Nausea and vomiting due to dysmenorrhea may be caused by irritation of the gastrointestinal tract or increased levels of prostaglandins.
1. Stimulation of gastrointestinal tract: Dysmenorrhea may cause uterine smooth muscle contraction, which stimulates the adjacent intestinal tract, leading to contraction of the gastrointestinal tract after stimulation, causing nausea, vomiting, abdominal distension, diarrhea and other symptoms, which usually disappear after dysmenorrhea ends.
2. Increased prostaglandin content: The occurrence of primary dysmenorrhea is mainly related to the increase of prostaglandin content in the endometrium during menstruation, the prostaglandin content in the patient’s body is higher than that of a normal woman during menstruation, and the increase of prostaglandin into the blood circulation can also cause cardiovascular and gastrointestinal symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, and weakness, etc. Patients with severe dysmenorrhea should go to a regular hospital to have a checkup.
