1. What are the hazards of long-term dysmenorrhea in women?

Dysmenorrhea refers to severe lower abdominal pain before, during, or after menstruation. Some women may also experience back pain, nausea, and even vomiting, which are all symptoms of dysmenorrhea. Dysmenorrhea is generally divided into primary and secondary. Secondary dysmenorrhea is mostly caused by gynecological diseases. Therefore, if women have long-term dysmenorrhea, they should go to a regular hospital for examination and diagnosis before treatment. If dysmenorrhea is not treated in time, the following hazards will occur:

1. Dysmenorrhea can lead to imbalance of Qi and blood, especially for women who suffer from dysmenorrhea during menstruation. They always have a dull complexion and dry skin, which can easily lead to pigmentation and acne, making them lose their "face".

2. Dysmenorrhea affects mental health. Women with long-term dysmenorrhea will experience irritability, anger, depression, and even emotional abnormalities.

3. Dysmenorrhea affects work and study. Dysmenorrhea causes women to suffer from unbearable pain in the lower abdomen and restlessness. It is also accompanied by lower back pain, dizziness, pale complexion, and even fainting, which seriously affects women's daily life.

4. Causes infertility. Long-term dysmenorrhea can also cause female infertility to a certain extent. More than half of infertile patients suffer from dysmenorrhea of ​​varying degrees. Many dysmenorrheas are signs of gynecological diseases. If dysmenorrhea is not checked and treated in time, the disease will affect women's fertility and lead to infertility.

5. Affect the quality of sex life. Dysmenorrhea will lead to a decline in the quality of women's sex life, causing pain during sexual intercourse, resulting in low libido, reduced frequency of sex, decreased sexual desire, etc., which will directly lead to disharmony in the couple's sex life.

2. Causes of dysmenorrhea

1. Systemic factors. Mental stress, depression, fear, and emotional instability are closely related to the occurrence of primary dysmenorrhea. If women engage in strenuous activities during menstruation, do not pay attention to wind, cold and dampness, or have a weak constitution, or are extremely sensitive to pain, it may induce dysmenorrhea. If you observe the menstrual blood carefully, you will find that the menstrual blood of women with dysmenorrhea is mostly dark red in color, and even contains blood clots. This is the reason why menstrual blood stagnates.

2. Local factors. Local factors are mainly caused by ovarian endocrine and uterine factors. According to relevant research, most dysmenorrhea occurs in women with ovulation cycles, while women without ovulation cycles rarely experience dysmenorrhea. Eggs are produced and released from the ovaries, so it is believed that the occurrence of dysmenorrhea may be related to ovarian endocrine factors. Dysmenorrhea occurs when a woman's uterine muscles spasm. In recent years, many studies have confirmed that increased levels of prostaglandins in the endometrium and blood are a decisive factor in causing dysmenorrhea.
