Why does my stomach hurt when I have my period?

Abdominal pain during menstruation is often caused by the following reasons: First, because the body is more sensitive to prostacyclin, the uterus will contract during menstruation, causing abdominal pain. This condition is clinically called primary dysmenorrhea. Second, menstrual abdominal pain caused by some diseases, such as endometriosis, inflammation of the uterus and pelvis, can cause lower abdominal pain during menstruation. In this kind of situation, the original disease should be actively treated clinically. For example, if there is pelvic inflammatory disease, active anti-inflammatory measures should be taken, and if there is endometriosis, active treatment should be given. Third, for menstrual pain caused by incomplete uterine development, it is recommended to do an ultrasound examination.

The main reasons for abdominal pain during menstruation are: 1. The secretion of prostacyclin in the body increases the patient's uterine contraction, which may cause menstrual pain. 2. Because of endometriosis, during the menstrual period, the endometriosis disease will cause bleeding, which will cause idiopathic aggravated menstrual pain. 3. Due to pelvic inflammation, hematoma may occur in the pelvis during menstruation, causing pain in the original inflammation. 4. Because the uterus is underdeveloped, during menstruation, there will be inharmonious uterine contractions, causing lower abdominal pain. 5. Due to abnormal position of the uterus, such as retroflexed position or flexed forward position, menstrual blood cannot be discharged smoothly during menstruation, which stimulates the uterus to contract and causes abdominal pain.

During menstruation, the uterine wall may fall off, causing uterine contractions. Or if you eat spicy or cold foods before menstruation, or do not pay attention to your diet and keep warm during menstruation, the pain may be aggravated. If the pain is only mild, you can drink more boiled ginger water with brown sugar, apply local heat to the abdomen with a warm hand bag for 15-20 minutes, or apply a warm baby patch to relieve it.

If the pain is unbearable, you can take ibuprofen sustained-release tablets or ibuprofen sustained-release capsules orally to relieve the menstrual cramps caused by menstruation. The therapeutic drug has no significant effect on the human body and will be metabolized after 4 hours, so it is not easy to affect your health. In the future, try to eat less spicy and irritating foods including cold foods before menstruation. During menstruation, you should keep warm and pay attention to your diet to avoid aggravated menstrual pain.
