Increased release of prostaglandins (PG) can cause an abnormal increase in PGF2a in the endometrium and blood, inducing uterine muscle contractions/producing spasmodic pain; it can also cause gastrointestinal reactions. When the uterine lining is shed during menstruation, the cells in the lining release prostaglandins. Prostaglandins stimulate contraction and ischemia of the myometrium. The more severe the dysmenorrhea is, the higher the level of prostaglandins in the menstrual blood of women is, and it reaches a peak within the first two days of menstruation.
