What are the symptoms of uterine cramps?

Uterine cramps are an abnormal symptom of the uterus. When uterine cramps occur, women often experience unbearable pain. That is to say, when uterine spasm occurs, the female body will experience abdominal pain, such as dysmenorrhea during the menstrual period. At this time, you must perform abdominal massage and pay attention to keeping the abdomen warm. In addition, you must be alert to uterine spasms caused by some diseases.

Causes of uterine cramps

1. Cervical stenosis: Some people have used CO2 ventilation to conduct research and compared the tension of the isthmus of the uterus in normal women and patients with dysmenorrhea. The results showed that the tension of the isthmus of the uterus in patients with dysmenorrhea was higher than that in normal women. When performing iodized oil radiography of the cervix and uterus, the isthmus of the uterus is relatively wide during the proliferative phase of the menstrual cycle, while the isthmus of the uterus is narrow and almost linear during the luteal phase. In some women, the isthmus of the uterus is so narrow that it can hardly be seen during angiography. Therefore, it is believed that the basis of primary dysmenorrhea is the loss of normal relaxation characteristics of the isthmus of the uterus, resulting in poor outflow of menstrual blood and stimulating spasmodic contractions of the uterus.

2. Uterine hypoplasia: When the uterus is hypoplastic, the proportions of uterine muscles and fibers are unbalanced, resulting in uncoordinated contractions or abnormal vascular supply, causing tissue ischemia and local hypoxia, leading to dysmenorrhea.

3. Abnormal position of the uterus: When the uterus is extremely retroflexed or anterior, an angle may be formed at the isthmus of the uterus, which may obstruct the flow of menstrual blood. The menstrual blood may stimulate the spasmodic contraction of the uterine muscles and cause premenstrual abdominal pain.
