Patient's question:
Irregular menstruation often causes women to feel embarrassed, such as when their clothes get dirty in public places. In fact, irregular menstruation is closely related to sexual life, and disharmonious sexual life can also cause irregular menstruation. Does regular sexual life make menstruation stable and without dysmenorrhea?Doctor's answer:
Hello, menstrual pain can be divided into two types: primary dysmenorrhea and secondary dysmenorrhea. Primary dysmenorrhea refers to abdominal pain that occurs from the onset of menstruation, while secondary dysmenorrhea refers to menstrual abdominal pain that appears after several years or even a decade of menstruation. The causes of the two types of dysmenorrhea are different. The cause of primary dysmenorrhea is a narrow cervix, underdeveloped uterus, or large pieces of endometrium in the menstrual blood, the latter of which is called membrane-like dysmenorrhea. Sometimes blood clots in the menstrual blood can also cause lower abdominal pain. The cause of secondary dysmenorrhea is mostly due to diseases, such as endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, pelvic congestion, etc. In recent years, it has been found that when the synthesis of prostaglandins in the endometrium increases, it can also cause dysmenorrhea. Therefore, it is necessary to undergo examinations to determine the cause of dysmenorrhea and then treat the condition accordingly.
