Dysmenorrhea is a common condition, mainly a disease that occurs before and during menstruation in women. This is also an abnormal phenomenon, and we must immediately check if it occurs.
Types of dysmenorrhea
1. Primary dysmenorrhea: Lower abdominal spasmodic pain related to menstruation. After a few hours of menstruation, there will be unbearable spasmodic pain in the lower abdomen, which is temporarily intermittent and difficult to relieve with medication. Each pain lasts for 2-3 minutes, intermittently for more than ten minutes, lasting for several hours, but generally not more than 12 hours, not more than 24 hours. Pain is mostly related to the front of the thigh, cold limbs, headache, stomachache, loose stool and other symptoms are common, and bronchitis can also be induced.
2. Membranous dysmenorrhea: refers to spasmodic dysmenorrhea caused by the expulsion of endometrial like structures from the uterus. Although this phenomenon is rare, the pain is significant, starting from a few hours or a day or two before menstruation. After the endometrial sample is discharged, the pain immediately disappears. The discharged endometrial sample is triangular in shape, with a size of 3cm × 4cm × 0 2cm~3cm × 4cm × 0 8 centimeters.
3. Congestive dysmenorrhea: often accompanied by gynecological diseases. Mild cases may not have obvious pain, while severe cases such as pelvic inflammatory disease are particularly severe before and during menstruation. Pelvic pain often occurs one or two days before menstruation, with heavier periods that disappear when the period is clean. In the first two days, there were also symptoms such as breast swelling, headache, loose stools, lower abdomen and back swelling.
4. Secondary dysmenorrhea: Due to the frequent occurrence of pelvic organ diseases, it is called secondary dysmenorrhea. The process of dysmenorrhea is quite complex. It starts shortly before menstruation and continues throughout the entire month until it clears before gradually disappearing. The common ones are pelvic inflammation, chronic Cervicitis, Endometriosis, pelvic tumors or abnormal uterine anatomy.
Physiological pain grading
1. Mild: On physiological days or before and after, there is significant lower abdominal pain, accompanied by lower back pain, but it can continue to work without systemic symptoms, and sometimes painkillers are needed.
