Female menstrual cramps, which are a widespread problem, are endured by many women during those days of each month. So, why do menstrual cramps occur? What are the causes of menstrual cramps in women?
First, we need to understand what dysmenorrhea is. Dysmenorrhea refers to the pain in the lower abdomen that occurs during or around menstruation, and is sometimes accompanied by symptoms such as back pain and breast tenderness. Depending on the degree of pain, it can be divided into mild dysmenorrhea, moderate dysmenorrhea, and severe dysmenorrhea. Mild menstrual cramps may be only mild discomfort, while severe dysmenorrhea may affect a woman's daily life and work.
There are many causes of menstrual cramps, mainly including the following:
1.Uterine fibroids: Uterine fibroids are the most common benign tumors in women, and they cause thickening of the muscular layer of the uterus, which can cause menstrual cramps.
2.Endometriosis: Endometriosis refers to the location of the endometrium growing outside the uterus, such as ovaries, fallopian tubes, etc. This ectopic lining also sheds during menstruation, but it causes pain because it cannot be expelled smoothly.
3.Cervical stenosis: Cervical stenosis is when the opening of the cervix is small, and menstrual blood does not drain smoothly, resulting in dysmenorrhea.
4.Endocrine disorders: Endocrine disorders are also one of the important causes of menstrual cramps. Endocrine disorders can cause problems such as irregular menstrual periods, heavy or too little menstrual bleeding, which can cause menstrual cramps.
5.Stress: Excessive stress can also affect a woman's menstrual and dysmenorrhea. Being in a state of tension and anxiety for a long time may lead to symptoms such as delayed menstruation and dysmenorrhea.
6.Bad lifestyle habits: Bad lifestyle habits such as irregular diet, lack of exercise, excessive dieting, etc., may lead to dysmenorrhea.
7.Genetic factors: Studies have shown that there is a certain genetic predisposition to dysmenorrhea, and if there is a history of dysmenorrhea in the family, then women will have a higher probability of suffering from dysmenorrhea.
