Can dysmenorrhea be passed down to daughters?

Many diseases are hereditary. For example, dysmenorrhea also has certain genetic factors, but this is not complete. Some dysmenorrhea is also caused by bad eating habits. Eating raw or cold food during menstruation can easily aggravate dysmenorrhea, and it will be difficult to cure over time. Do not smoke or drink during menstruation, as alcohol and nicotine can easily irritate the body and cause harm.

1. If the mother has dysmenorrhea, will the daughter also have dysmenorrhea?

Menarche is a sign that girls are entering puberty. The early or late time of menarche is generally believed to be related to genetics. If the mother's menarche is early, the daughter's menarche will also be early; if the mother's menarche is late, the daughter's menarche may also be late. But this is not absolute, because the timing of menarche may also be affected by other internal and external factors, such as nutrition, disease, natural environment and social environment.

Research by Dayima shows that the average age of menarche for girls with poor development and signs of malnutrition is 15.2 years old, while the age of menarche for girls with good nutrition is significantly earlier, at an average of 13.7 years old. Therefore, the age of menarche for rural women is 1-2 years later than that for urban women. The White Paper also found that the age at which modern women first menstruate is 1-2 years earlier than their mothers. It can be seen that the improvement in living standards after the reform and opening up has a great effect on the growth and development of women, and the age of menarche has also been advanced.

If the mother has dysmenorrhea, the probability of her daughter suffering from dysmenorrhea will increase. Although dysmenorrhea is not a genetic disease, it has a certain genetic tendency. If a daughter and her mother have similar living environments and living habits, they are more likely to have similar menstrual characteristics.

2. Genetic diseases that daughters can also get

Studies have shown that common diseases such as arthritis, tooth decay, migraine, and osteoporosis can also be inherited. If the mother has these diseases, the daughter's risk of developing the disease will double. If the mother has endometriosis, the daughter's probability of developing the disease will be 7 times higher than the average person. If the mother has menopausal syndrome, her daughter is also likely to experience similar symptoms such as night sweats. If the mother has breast cancer and ovarian cancer before menopause, it is recommended that the woman go to the hospital for a check-up every year to prevent the disease.

The disease will directly affect health, and then affect endocrine function, thus causing abnormal symptoms such as delayed menarche in women. If the mother suffers from common chronic diseases such as tuberculosis, chronic hepatitis, diabetes, etc., her daughter may also be affected by genetics and her menarche may be delayed. Therefore, if menarche is delayed, you should go to the hospital for examination.
