Text 
"Prostaglandin theory" adequately explains the reason for the pain. Prostaglandins are hormone like substances that are produced by the uterus and bring about contraction of the muscles of uterus.Their levels are found to be higher in women with menstrual pain. A number of factors may be involved for pain during menstruation. However recent research has confirmed that the
The release of prostaglandins is mainly due to the hormone progesterone, released by the corpus luteum (a product of the ovaries). There maybe no pain during the first year of menarche, as in over 60% of the initial menstrual cycles there is no production of the egg (called anovulatory phase). Since ovulation is associated with the release of egg and normal corpus luteal activity, it is associated with painful menstruation. The Risk factors for primary dysmenorrhea include –
Obstructive and anatomical factors –Acute uterine ante flexion or retro flexion, cervical stenosis, pedunculated sub mucous fibroid and endometrial polyps can cause secondary dysmenorrhea. Other less common causes are— Endometriosis, Adenomyosis and Blind uterine horn. The risk factors for secondary dysmenorrhea are sexually transmitted diseases and Endometritis. |

Posted on: 03/17/2011 I am one of those lucky women who have not experienced dysmenorrhea!
If you're a woman and your dysmenorrhea is so painful that it disrupts your daily routine, better to have yourself checked by a doctor, specifically an OB-GYN. You might have an underlying problem that contributes to the dysmenorrhea. |
