Physiological pain is a common phenomenon that mainly occurs before and after menstruation in women. It is a phenomenon that we should pay attention to, and actively identify the cause of the disease. Reasonable prevention should be taken in daily life. Let's understand together.
Types of physiological pain
1. Physiological pain is divided into two types: primary and secondary.
Secondary physiological pain occurs 2 years after menarche, and the age and course of physiological pain vary, as well as the timing of its occurrence.
2. Traditional Chinese medicine generally divides dysmenorrhea into two types: deficiency and excess:
One is empirical evidence: Qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome, often characterized by premenstrual or initial pain. If the lower abdomen is swollen and painful, the menstrual flow is not smooth, the amount is small, the color is purple and there are dark lumps, and after the blood clots are discharged, the abdominal pain is reduced, and the chest and rib breasts are swollen or painful; Cold dampness stagnation syndrome is often characterized by premenstrual or initial pain. The lower abdomen is cold and painful, which extends to the waist and spine. If you get hot, it slows down. The menstrual flow is small, and the color is dull and lumpy.
The second is deficiency syndrome: it is mostly in the late stage of menstruation, with pain in the lower abdomen after menstruation. The pain is continuous and warm, and the menstrual color is light but the amount is small. The menstrual blood is clear and sparse, and in severe cases, the patient is afraid of the cold, pale, flustered, and dizzy.
Causes of physiological pain
1. Overexertion and tension
If a woman works for a long time, her body will experience long-term fatigue and physical pain. Especially some women have a fear of physical pain, and if they are mentally nervous, the symptoms of physical pain will worsen.
2. Hormonal effects
In most cases, menstruation begins around 2 weeks after ovulation by the ovaries. After ovulation, the ovaries gradually produce the corpus luteum, which secretes pregnancy hormone. If there is too much pregnancy hormone, the cervix will contract strongly and menstrual blood will flow out of the uterus. Due to excessive menstrual blood in the uterus, it can stimulate the uterus and cause strong uterine contractions, leading to pain.
3. Mental tension
For many female friends, they feel particularly irritable, nervous, uneasy, and fearful during menstruation, so they are more sensitive to pain than ordinary women. Even very mild discomfort can have an impact on them. Their mental state is becoming increasingly tense, and their pain is becoming increasingly severe, which is caused by their psychological effects.
4. Cold body
If a woman's body is attacked by cold and the accumulation of cold inside the body cannot be dispelled, the body's blood gas is prone to deterioration, causing symptoms of uterine coldness and long-term dysmenorrhea.
