Dysmenorrhea (painful menstruation) is defined as a
condition of severe uterine pain during menstruation. Some women may
experience periodic pains during or prior to, or after menstrual periods
in the lower abdomen as resulting of over production of certain
hormones in the prostaglandins family. In traditional Chinese medicine,
dysmenorrhea is defined as a pain in the lower abdomen, appearing with
menstrual cycle that can spread over to the whole abdomen and
lumbosacral region, depending to diagnosis.
Causes
A. Primary dysmenorrhea
1. Allergic reactions
Women eating food that causes the immune system to react
over-aggressively and negatively due to a weakened immune system as well
as resulting in an over-production of prostaglandins.
2. Nutritional deficiency
Deficiency of magnesium and DHEA encourages the excess prostaglandins that can facilitate onset of dysmenorrhea.
3. Unhealthy diet
Intake of high amounts of foods containing synthetic preservatives,
color agents, additives, and caffeine causes tension in the nervous
system, weakens the immune system, and increases inflammation of our
body's system resulting in a distortion of hormone production.
4. Excessive estrogen
Balancing of estrogen and progesterone is necessary for a normal
menstrual cycle. Women who are taking estrogen enhancing medications may
cause an imbalance of estrogen and progesterone resulting in a hormone
imbalance and menstrual cramps.
5. Over weight
Women who are overweight have twice the risk for having stronger and more persistent menstrual pain than women who are not.
6. Smoking.
Cigarettes are a stimulant that not only causes tension in our
nervous system, but also distorts hormone production causing excessive
production of prostaglandins. Women smokers are more likely to suffer
from menstrual pain.
7. Stress
Stress is a psychological and physiological response to events that
upset our personal balance in some way causing chemical imbalances in
the brain resulting in irregular menstruation or menstrual cramps.
8. Etc.
B. Secondary dysmenorrhea (including those in primary dysmenorrhea)
1. Endometriosis
Endometriosis is a condition in which the cells that line the
interior of the uterus dislodge and grows outside the uterine cavity
resulting in no exit for the blood when estrogen levels drop causing
dysmenorrhea.
2. Fibromas
These benign tumors form and grow in the uterus or the ovaries as a
result of prolonged, dilatory menstruation or abortion as well as
imbalances between estrogen and progesterone causing pain during the
menstrual flow.
3. Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)
PID is a bacterial infection of the uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries.
4. Ectopic pregnancy
is defined as a condition in which the fertilized implant in
somewhere else other than in the uterus. In most case, ectopic pregnancy
occurs in the one of the Fallopian tube, causing tubal pregnancy.
Ectopic pregnancy will end up in miscarriage cause of dysmenorrhea as
the fertilized can not survive outside of uterus.
5. Sexual transmitting diseases
also known as sexually transmitted infection is an illness which can
only transmit through sexual intercourse as a result from the
infectious partner or IV drug needles after its use by an infected
person, through childbirth or breastfeeding, including vaginal
intercourse, oral sex, and anal sex. The disease can lead to infectious
causes of dysmenorrhea.
