Dysmenorrhea: refers to the crampy pain in the lower abdomen of women during menstruation, which can lead to premenstrual syndrome and various emotional problems, which seriously affect work and life, and is one of the most common symptoms. Surveys have shown that 71% of women will have menstrual cramps, but the degree of pain is different, some are only mild pain, while some are so painful that they roll in bed, break out in cold sweat, and even have to rely on painkillers to temporarily relieve them. Dysmenorrhea is divided into two categories: primary dysmenorrhea and secondary dysmenorrhea. Specifically, the following analyses are carried out:
1) Primary dysmenorrhea refers to the symptoms of dysmenorrhea that occur since menarche, mainly due to the increase in endometrial prostaglandin content. The increase in prostaglandins (PG) not only stimulates excessive contraction of the uterine muscles, leading to uterine ischemia, but also sensitizes nerve endings to pain stimuli and lowers the threshold for dysmenorrhea. Increases in vasopressin, endogenous oxytocin, and endorphins can also cause uterine contractions to increase in intensity, which in turn can lead to dysmenorrhea. In addition, mental and neurological factors, such as long-term anxiety and high pressure, can lead to endocrine disorders in a person, and can also cause primary dysmenorrhea.
2) Secondary dysmenorrhea is the occurrence of dysmenorrhea after being stimulated by certain stimuli. It is usually caused by pelvic organic diseases such as endometriosis, adenomyosis, etc.

Primary dysmenorrhea does not affect the success rate of IVF, but if it is due to uterine disease, it may have a certain impact on the success of IVF. For women with dysmenorrhea, IVF can also be used, and the cause of dysmenorrhea will be identified through relevant examinations, and then symptomatic diagnosis and treatment and conditioning, and then IVF technology will be used to help solve fertility problems.
