I didn't have dysmenorrhea before, what's wrong with me now?

Menstrual pain is a common symptom among women during their menstrual period, usually manifested as bloating and pain in the lower abdomen, which can seriously affect women's quality of life. Because of different physical conditions, the degree of menstrual pain for each female friend is also different. Primary menstrual pain usually alleviates or disappears to a certain extent after a woman gives birth to a baby. So what is the reason why you don’t have menstrual pain before but now you have it? Let me give you a detailed introduction.

I didn't have period pain before, what's going on now?

1. Caused by gynecological diseases. Some women did not have dysmenorrhea before, but now have symptoms of dysmenorrhea. This is called secondary dysmenorrhea, which is mostly caused by diseases. If female friends suffer from pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis and other diseases, it will cause secondary dysmenorrhea. In this case, you need to go to the hospital for examination immediately to find out the cause of the menstrual pain and then treat it accordingly.

2. The prostacyclin content in the uterine wall increases. There is a hormone called prostacyclin, which can cause menstrual pain. If the prostacyclin in the female uterine wall increases to a certain extent, it will cause dysmenorrhea symptoms in women.

3. The uterus is too contracted. If a woman's uterine contractions last for a long time, it will cause menstrual pain due to excessive contraction of the uterus.

4. IUD. The IUD is a common contraceptive method for women of childbearing age. The placement of an IUD can cause many uncomfortable symptoms in women, menstrual cramps being one of them. If a female friend feels uncomfortable after having the IUD placed and the symptoms are particularly serious, the IUD should be removed.

5. Eat cool and stimulating foods often. Some women feel that they have never had symptoms of dysmenorrhea, so they still eat cold and irritating foods during their menstrual period, which will cause dysmenorrhea due to cold. Therefore, whether or not you have experienced dysmenorrhea, you must pay attention to keeping warm during your menstrual period, avoid eating cold and irritating foods, and avoid touching cold water.

6. Excessive exercise. If women still do strenuous work or exercise excessively during their menstrual period, it will cause uterine cramps and cause menstrual pain. During the menstrual period, everyone must be careful not to do complicated physical work, not to exercise excessively, and to ensure adequate sleep.

If you don't pay attention during your menstrual period, it is easy to cause menstrual pain. Therefore, female friends should pay attention to health care during their menstrual period, keep warm, don't wear clothes that expose your navel and ankles, avoid rain, and don't touch cold water. Don't eat cold and irritating foods in your diet. If the menstrual pain is caused by pelvic inflammatory disease, uterine fibroids, endometriosis and other diseases, you must seek medical treatment immediately.
