Menstruation brings both joy and worry to women, because if menstruation occurs according to normal rules, it is a sign of good health, especially the health of fertility, and there is basically no need to worry. If menstruation is irregular, the time of menstruation cannot be accurately grasped, or menstrual pain occurs, it will make women feel very painful. Dysmenorrhea causes great suffering to many women. Let’s take a look at whether dysmenorrhea is hereditary in girls?

Dysmenorrhea usually starts after a girl's menarche and occurs almost every month. Because they don't understand what causes it, many girls develop a huge fear, which aggravates the onset of dysmenorrhea and even creates a vicious cycle. Dysmenorrhea is mainly caused by excessive psychological pressure, sitting for long periods of time leading to poor blood circulation, poor menstrual blood flow, and a preference for cold foods.

Dysmenorrhea may be hereditary. Dysmenorrhea refers to the pain in the lower abdomen or lower back that women experience during and before and after their menstrual period. Severe cases are accompanied by nausea and vomiting, cold sweats, cold hands and feet, and even fainting. Recently, many patients have consulted me about whether dysmenorrhea is hereditary.

Dysmenorrhea is one of the common gynecological symptoms, especially common in unmarried young women, and can be divided into primary and secondary types. The cause of primary dysmenorrhea is not yet fully understood. Dysmenorrhea occurs shortly after menarche and is sometimes closely related to psychological factors. Dysmenorrhea may also be caused by spasmodic contractions of the uterine muscles, leading to uterine ischemia. Secondary dysmenorrhea is more common in women after childbirth and in middle age, and is caused by pelvic inflammation, tumors or endometriosis. Endometriosis is a disease in which endometrial tissue grows outside the uterine cavity, such as in the myometrium, ovaries, or other parts of the pelvic cavity. It also has periodic changes and bleeding, and causes pain during menstruation because the blood cannot flow out.

Female friends must eliminate anxiety, tension and fear and relieve mental burden when suffering from dysmenorrhea. Treat systemic chronic diseases promptly. Efforts should be made to correct the condition of those with developmental problems and weak constitutions. Start physical exercise to improve your physical fitness. Avoid strenuous exercise and excessive fatigue during menstruation, prevent cold, and pay attention to menstrual hygiene.
