Why do I always have menstrual cramps at night?

Women's bodies are generally weak during menstruation, and if they are not careful, they may develop symptoms of dysmenorrhea. Some women find that the pain always worsens at night, making them so uncomfortable that they cannot fall asleep at all, which directly affects their normal life and work. So what exactly causes this symptom? The editor will analyze this issue in detail below.

1. Primary dysmenorrhea: also known as functional dysmenorrhea, is not caused by organic diseases, but by imperfect reproductive organ function, and usually occurs shortly after menarche. Generally, dysmenorrhea in teenage girls falls into this category. After they mature, this dysmenorrhea will gradually ease or disappear.

2. Secondary dysmenorrhea: Secondary dysmenorrhea refers to dysmenorrhea caused by lesions of the reproductive organs such as endometriosis. The only way to eliminate this dysmenorrhea is to cure these diseases. In order to no longer suffer from dysmenorrhea, it is recommended that women go to the hospital for treatment in time.

3. Hereditary dysmenorrhea: There is a certain relationship between the dysmenorrhea of ​​a daughter and the dysmenorrhea of ​​the mother due to genetic factors. Some women are overly sensitive to pain due to mental and neurological factors.

4. Gynecological diseases: The main cause of dysmenorrhea is due to gynecological diseases, such as endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, adenomyosis, uterine fibroids, etc. If an intrauterine device is placed in the uterus, it can also easily cause dysmenorrhea.

5. Abnormal uterine contraction: Patients with dysmenorrhea often have abnormal uterine contraction, which often leads to ischemia of uterine smooth muscle. Uterine muscle ischemia can cause spasmodic contraction of uterine muscle, resulting in pain and dysmenorrhea.

All of these factors may cause women to suffer from dysmenorrhea. If the situation is serious, it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up and then receive targeted treatment. At the same time, the editor would like to remind all female friends to pay attention to menstrual care, not to eat any spicy, raw or cold food, and to keep the abdomen warm, so as to relieve dysmenorrhea.
