Dysmenorrhoea decoded! What does it feel like?

Most women experience some kind of pain during their periods but not everyone has dysmenorrhoea.  But if that pain is so intense that it doesn't allow you to work  or do your daily activities then you should seek medical help. 

Women with dysmenorrhoea may have the following symptoms:

• Severe and frequent menstrual cramps mostly in the lower abdomen. This pelvic pain can start before the onset of periods and continue for 1 to 3 days.
  
• Extreme pain that radiates down the legs and lower back.
• If pain is intense it is often associated with fatigue, headache, nausea and vomiting
• There may be associated complaints of breast tenderness, mood swings like irritability and anger.

Cracking the code: the causes of dysmenorrhoea:

In order for the uterus to expel its lining each period, uterine contractions occur Normally, these contractions are a painless process. However, in women with dysmenorrhea, the contractions have become more intense (and hence painful), due to high levels of hormone-like signaling molecules called prostaglandins. Therefore, beating period pain involves lowering pain-triggering prostaglandins to a minimum.  

There are two types of painful periods a woman can experience –

• Primary dysmenorrhoea
• Secondary dysmenorrhoea

Each of them has a different cause.

Causes of primary dysmenorrhea:

• Primary dysmenorrhea is referred to the menstrual pain which occurs in the absence of any pelvic disease.
• The muscular wall of the uterus contracts during periods to encourage the shedding of the lining. These contractions result in the release of certain pain-triggering chemicals.
• Primary dysmenorrhea, is therefore a functional pain in response to a natural process.

Causes of secondary dysmenorrhea:

Secondary dysmenorrhea, on the other hand, is caused due to an underlying pelvic condition. These conditions can be –

Endometriosis: It’s a chronic pelvic disorder in which the cells that normally lining the uterus start growing outside the uterus in other pelvic organs like the fallopian tube and ovaries. As a result, the menstrual blood, instead of flowing out through the vagina, gets accumulated around the uterus and ovaries causing intense period pain.

 Pelvic inflammatory disease: There is inflammation due to infection of the uterus, fallopian tubes and the ovaries leading to painful menstrual cramps.

 Uterine fibroids: Fibroids are non-cancerous tumors that can grow in the uterus. These fibroids can make the periods heavy and painful.

 Infection and polyps of cervix (mouth of uterus)
