Cause

Causes of menarche dysmenorrhea

(1) Causes of the disease

Primary dysmenorrhea:

Pain is caused by the uterus itself, without pelvic lesions, common in the ovulatory menstrual period, so it occurs in 7 to 12 months of menarche, accounting for about 75%, such as ovulation at the beginning of menarche, then menarche begins at the menarche; Dysmenorrhea occurred in 13% in 2 years, 5% in the third year, and only 4% in the fourth year.

Secondary dysmenorrhea:

Adolescent girls are rare, caused by pelvic diseases, such as endometriosis, chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, pelvic congestion.

(two) pathogenesis

Primary dysmenorrhea:

1. Prostaglandin (PG) in the endometrium increases the concentration of estrogen and progesterone in the endometrium before menstruation, and promotes the synthesis of PG in the intima. When the membrane disintegrates during the period, PGE2 and PGF2a are released, causing strong uterine smooth muscle. Contraction, leading to increased intrauterine pressure, when intrauterine pressure exceeds arterial pressure (>26.7kPa, ie >200mmHg), uterine ischemia, pain symptoms similar to myocardial ischemia, because PGF2a and PGE2 also act on the trachea, The smooth muscles of the intestines and blood vessels can cause symptoms such as asthma, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and elevated blood pressure.

2. Cervical canal stenosis or excessive uterine flexion causes obstruction of menstrual discharge, uterine contraction is enhanced, can cause dysmenorrhea.

3. Uterine dysplasia is often accompanied by abnormal vascular supply and ischemia, causing premenstrual and menstrual abdominal pain.

4. When the whole endometrium is discharged, it can cause strong uterine contraction and abdominal pain. It is also called membrane-like dysmenorrhea. The reason why the endometrium does not disintegrate is unknown. It is thought to be caused by excessive progesterone, and after progesterone is applied before menstruation. Can cause some membrane-like dysmenorrhea to disappear.

5. Other trauma, excessive fatigue, strenuous exercise, etc. can make dysmenorrhea worse.
