Why do I have pain during menstruation?

Every woman feels weaker during her menstrual period. Of course, some physical reactions during menstruation are also different, which is related to individual constitution. For example, some women may experience pain or heaviness in their abdomen during menstruation. Some women do not feel much discomfort during menstruation, and the reasons for this situation are quite complicated. So why do they feel pain down there during menstruation?

1. The occurrence of symptoms such as pain in the lower body during menstruation may be caused by normal pelvic congestion during menstruation. There is no need to worry too much about this. You just need to pay attention to keeping your abdomen and whole body warm during menstruation. The second possibility is dysmenorrhea. If it is indeed dysmenorrhea, you should take it seriously because it may be caused by uterine cold. Severe uterine cold may lead to infertility, so if the condition is serious, Chinese medicine needs to be used to regulate it.

2. The phenomenon of lower abdominal pain during menstruation may be related to catching a cold during menstruation, or it may be related to uterine cold. In this case, you can drink more ginger sugar water or brown sugar water to observe, and you need to pay attention to avoid headaches. You should also pay attention to your diet and not eat cold food. For example, things just taken out of the refrigerator cannot be eaten immediately. During menstruation, the cervix opens. If there is too much cold air, it will cause menstrual blood to flow poorly, causing pain. This is also the cause of pain. If we want to stay away from pain, we need to keep our abdomen warm. You can put a hot water bag on your abdomen to relax your muscles, speed up blood circulation, reduce pelvic congestion and spasm, and relieve pain. Also drink more hot water.

3. The feeling of heaviness and pain in the lower body during menstruation is caused by excessive contraction of the uterus, which is a manifestation of dysmenorrhea. During the menstrual period or before and after menstruation, patients experience lower abdominal pain and distension, accompanied by a feeling of heaviness in the abdomen and labia. Patients with severe symptoms may be unable to lead a normal life. The main reason for this situation is that the prostaglandin content in the endometrium increases during menstruation. The increase in prostaglandins will cause excessive contraction of the uterine smooth muscle and vascular spasm, resulting in the uterus being in a state of ischemia and hypoxia, causing dysmenorrhea. Excessive contraction of the uterus may cause a feeling of heaviness in the labia majora and legs.
