id=\"What_is_Dysmenorrhea\"><\/span><b>What is Dysmenorrhea?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Dysmenorrhea <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">medically refers to painful periods or menstrual cramps. Characterised by nausea, fatigue, and diarrhoea, these cramps typically begin the day before or on the first day of the period and can last from two to three days. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mild cramps are typical, affecting an estimated 60% of women of reproductive age. More severe pain occurs in<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/my.clevelandclinic.org\/health\/diseases\/4148-dysmenorrhea\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 5% to 15%<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and can significantly disrupt daily life. Pain typically tends to decrease with age or after delivery. While most women experience mild cramping, women who experience significant pain cannot go on with their daily lives.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Types_of_Dysmenorrhea\"><\/span><b>Types of Dysmenorrhea<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are two types of dysmenorrhea, based on what causes the cramping pains. They are:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Primary\"><\/span><b>Primary <\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This type occurs with repeated cramping not resulting from other diseases. The pain usually begins one to two days before menstrual flow and resolves in a few days. This is the most common type of menstrual pain.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Secondary\"><\/span><b>Secondary <\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This results from underlying diseases such as infect<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ions, endometriosis, or pelvic inflammatory disease<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Pain begins earlier in the cycle, but it tends to be longer, sometimes continuing all through the period.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dysmenorrhea_Causes\"><\/span><b>Dysmenorrhea Causes<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Primary <\/span>dysmenorrhea <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is linked with genetics and lifestyle. If your relatives, especially your mother, sisters, and grandmothers, had painful cramps during their menstruation cycle, you are at higher risk. Other factors, such as smoking, poor diet, and a sedentary lifestyle, will aggravate the condition further. Smoking will reduce the oxygen supply to the pelvic region, thus amplifying the pain in cramps. A diet high in fat and sugar could contribute to inflammation. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Secondary dysmenorrhea is a result of other conditions found in the <a href=\"https:\/\/connect.healthkart.com\/womens-reproductive-health-different-ways-to-maintain-it\/\">reproductive system<\/a>, such as:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Endometriosis<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: The tissue similar to the uterus lining grows outside the uterus, causing pelvic pain.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Adenomyosis<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: The uterine lining grows into the muscle of the uterus, and then severe cramping, along with heavy bleeding, sets in.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID):<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Chronic infections in the pelvic cavity lead to pain.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Fibroids<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: These are benign tumours in the uterus that cause tissue pressure and cause pain.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Ovarian Cysts\/Polyps<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Growths in the ovary cause interruptions in menstruation and result in pain.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dysmenorrhea_Symptoms\"><\/span><b>Dysmenorrhea Symptoms<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Dysmenorrhea symptoms <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">can vary enormously &#8211; from slight pain on one side to pain that is severe enough that it makes daily activities impossible.
