What department should I go to for dysmenorrhea

It can be said that most women will experience symptoms of dysmenorrhea during menstruation, but the severity varies from person to person. Some women with severe dysmenorrhea should not think that it is okay to endure it, because it may cause them to suffer from some gynecological diseases. Women with dysmenorrhea can choose to go to the hospital for a gynecological examination. There are many reasons for female dysmenorrhea. It may be due to congenital uterine hypoplasia or excessive coldness of the body, or it may be due to lack of attention to acquired conditioning.

1. Primary

Half of women have dysmenorrhea, but they are all primary, about 50%, which is a physiological one. Some discomforts during menstruation, such as lower abdominal pain, are normal physiological phenomena. Everyone will feel some discomfort during menstruation, but everyone feels differently. In other words, dysmenorrhea is a disease only when it affects normal life.

2. Uterine hypoplasia

Poor uterine development can easily lead to abnormal blood supply, causing uterine ischemia and hypoxia, leading to dysmenorrhea.

3. Weakness

The upper abdominal muscles support the abdominal organs. If these muscles are not fully developed, their ability to support the organs will be poor, causing pain due to the weight of the organs.

4. Mental stress

When menstruation comes, I feel irritable, anxious, nervous and fearful, so I am more sensitive to pain than ordinary people. Even the slightest discomfort can cause pain, and the more nervous you are, the more pain you feel. This pain is mainly caused or aggravated by psychological factors.

5. Endometriosis

It has symptoms very similar to those of primary dysmenorrhea.

If the patient has progressive dysmenorrhea or a family history of endometriosis (either the mother or a sister has the disease), laparoscopy should be performed early to confirm the diagnosis and conservative surgical treatment should be performed early to preserve fertility.

6. Hormone influence

Menstruation usually occurs about two weeks after ovulation. After ovulation, a corpus luteum is gradually produced, which can secrete progesterone. Excessive production of progesterone can cause the cervix to contract strongly, affecting the outflow of menstrual blood from the uterus. Excess menstrual blood in the uterus will stimulate the uterus and cause it to contract strongly, thus causing pain.

7. Cervical stenosis

The main problem is that menstrual outflow is blocked, causing dysmenorrhea.

8. Increased levels of prostaglandins (PG) in the endometrium and menstrual blood

Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) acts on uterine muscle fibers to cause them to contract and cause dysmenorrhea. The prostaglandin content in the endometrial tissue of patients with dysmenorrhea is significantly higher than that of women with normal endometrium.
