Dysmenorrhea, commonly known as painful menstrual cramps, is a condition characterized by discomfort occurring before or during the menstrual cycle. This discomfort arises from the contraction of uterine muscles, exerting pressure on the uterine lining.
As the most prevalent gynecological condition, dysmenorrhea significantly contributes to depression and limits daily activities in women. While the exact cause of menstrual cramps remains unknown, various factors can contribute to the pain, making it a complex and multifaceted condition.
What causes it ?
Hormonal imbalances
Fluctuations in hormones, particularly prostaglandins, can trigger uterine contractions, initiating an inflammatory response in the uterus. This process can reduce blood flow to the uterus and ovaries, resulting in the discomfort associated with menstrual cramps.
Fibroids
Noncancerous growths in the uterus that may cause pain and discomfort during menstrual periods.
Intrauterine Device (IUD)
Some contraceptive devices, like IUDs, can contribute to cramps and heightened menstrual discomfort.
Cervical Stenosis
A condition where the cervix’s opening is too small, causing the accumulation of menstrual blood and subsequent pain.
