There are 7 levels of dysmenorrhea? If the pain reaches level 5, seek medical attention immediately!

To be honest, most girls will suffer from dysmenorrhea , but if you look closely, it seems that everyone experiences the pain differently.

"My back hurts, so I can only lie down~"

"You still want to shit when the world is turning upside down!"

Which one are you?

Don’t think that the pain is over. In fact, dysmenorrhea is divided into “levels”. When it reaches level 5 , I sincerely recommend that you go to the hospital!

Safe state: The belly is like a gently inflated balloon

Occasional back pain

If you are at level 2, you are truly the chosen one↓

At this time, do you feel that your belly during menstruation is like a small balloon that is gently blown up?

Most of the time it's pretty easy, but sometimes it can feel bloated and a little uncomfortable. You can try this:

√ Eat less strong flavors

Before menstruation, estrogen levels rise sharply, which makes water and salt "gather" during menstruation. If you eat too much heavy food, you may become more swollen.

√ Apply heat or walk around

Prostaglandins can also stimulate the stomach and intestines. Sometimes you may feel better after having diarrhea, farting, or taking a walk.

Enter the challenge: Abdominal pain is getting worse, so I need to call for painkillers

However, for many girls, the menstrual period is not so easy.
When you find that your belly is getting heavier and heavier, as if you were put under a strong tight spell, see which level you are at:

Why do others feel so relaxed while I am in so much pain?

This may be related to the position of the uterus and is inseparable from the prostaglandins in your body.

An excessively retroflexed uterus is like a woman, always leaning backwards, so it is more difficult to discharge menstrual blood during menstruation; while an anterior uterus is like a woman, always leaning forward to join in the fun, so it is relatively smoother when menstrual blood is discharged.

However, the position of the uterus is only a small factor. The more influential factor is the little guy in the body called prostaglandins, which are like "uterine stimulants" and can help the uterus contract and discharge menstrual blood. Girls with severe dysmenorrhea secrete more prostaglandins , and the uterus is more prone to ischemia and hypoxia .

These two little tricks can calm prostaglandins down:

√ Adjust your eating pattern

Eating too much of some foods will cause prostaglandins to "become highly produced", which will increase the severity of dysmenorrhea, such as: high-fat and high-sugar foods.

But some foods are "natural ibuprofen" and eating more can relieve dysmenorrhea:

√Take painkillers in advance & try other medications

If you are at level 2, you must have been taking ibuprofen for years! Taking it in advance can inhibit the synthesis of excessive prostaglandins in advance. Don't wait until you can't bear it anymore before taking it.

If you find that "Afen" is not working, you can consult a doctor. There are many kinds of painkillers , you can change them~

Tornado strikes: As violent as a tornado, go to the hospital immediately <br /> What if even painkillers don't work? The following three levels are very dangerous, and you need to go to the hospital in serious cases! Check yourself immediately:

If you are hit by this, please remember to go to the hospital, because what you are experiencing may not be ordinary dysmenorrhea, but a gynecological disease , such as↓

👉Endometriosis: When dysmenorrhea occurs, the whole body often hurts to the point of vomiting , and the pain is not limited to the abdomen, but also to the waist, back, and legs. There may also be pain during intercourse, defecation, or urination.

👉Adenomyosis: Severe pain in the middle of the lower abdomen. Some people start to feel pain one week before their period, and the pain gets worse with each period . There may also be symptoms such as pain during intercourse and irregular menstruation.

At this time, dysmenorrhea may be a small signal of illness . It is urging us to solve small problems in the body in time. Don’t wait until your life is in danger before you regret not paying attention to it earlier!

Which level are you in? Come and leave a message to communicate with the sisters~
Yue Miaojun also wants to take this opportunity to remind the girls:

For a long time, menstruation has been a topic that women are ashamed to talk about, and dysmenorrhea has naturally become a part that needs to be avoided and endured.
But patience is not a virtue. Dysmenorrhea caused by diseases can be easily ignored and requires regular medical treatment . Remember to tell your sisters who have dysmenorrhea.
