Can sex treat dysmenorrhea? There are four treatments available for female dysmenorrhea

Dysmenorrhea is an abnormal phenomenon and a reaction to a woman's unhealthy body. After experiencing dysmenorrhea, it is important to first identify the cause, and then actively treat it symptomatically. Attention should also be paid to body conditioning before and after menstruation.

Is there a relationship between female dysmenorrhea and sexual activity

Dysmenorrhea is generally divided into two types: primary and secondary. Primary pain often occurs during adolescence, within 1-2 years of menarche during menstruation, with lower abdominal pain during menstruation, and no positive signs on gynecological examinations. Primary dysmenorrhea is not severe and does not require treatment. After marriage and childbirth, it will also self heal. This type of dysmenorrhea has no organic lesions in the genitalia itself and is not related to sexual activity.

But severe primary and secondary dysmenorrhea are not so simple. There are many reasons for secondary dysmenorrhea, among which adenomyosis is the most severe cause of secondary dysmenorrhea in endometriosis. The occurrence of secondary dysmenorrhea is often a symptom that occurs several years after menarche, and there is a clear history of excessive menstruation, infertility, intrauterine device placement, or pelvic inflammatory disease, and abnormal findings in gynecological examinations. Therefore, simply saying that marriage marks the end of dysmenorrhea will delay the treatment of the disease and lay the foundation for future life.

Can sexual activity treat dysmenorrhea?

Every month or so, women of childbearing age experience spontaneous thickening of the endometrium, vascular proliferation, glandular growth and secretion, collapse and shedding of the endometrium, accompanied by periodic changes in bleeding. This phenomenon of periodic vaginal and uterine bleeding is called menstruation.

Old people often feel pain when they cannot speak. Some people explain that unmarried women have a tense cervix, and the peeling endometrium cannot be smoothly discharged, gradually accumulating in the uterus. Every time they menstruate, the uterus will expand and cause physiological pain. When we get married and the cervix relaxes, menstrual blood can be smoothly discharged, and dysmenorrhea does not require medication. Therefore, there is a saying for sexual activity to treat dysmenorrhea.

Obstetricians and gynecology experts believe that this statement is completely misunderstood. During sexual activity, the position of the cervix is difficult to reach, and it cannot be easily expanded or relaxed. Moreover, cervical nerves are extremely sensitive, and expanding the cervix will inevitably cause unbearable pain for women. In clinical practice, it is usually only during the process of induced abortion that special medical devices are used to expand the cervix and gradually expand, which is also the most painful stage for women in induced abortion surgery. Therefore, sexual activity cannot solve dysmenorrhea caused by uterine congestion.
