Dysmenorrhea
Dysmenorrhea or painful menstruation is an irregularity of menstrual function. It is characterized by painful periods that come with menstruation.
Symptoms can be diverse: cramping in the legs, pelvic or abdominal pain, pain in the lower part of the back (near the kidneys), headache, nausea, dizziness, vomiting, fainting, fatigue, and anxiety, irritability or depression, ie, affecting both physical and psychic state. In some cases, in addition to symptoms, are expelled during menstruation blood clots or endometrial molds. It is usually distinguished from primary dysmenorrhea, present in young women, and secondary dysmenorrhea, which occurs in older women.
In young women dysmenorrhea occurs between 6 and 12 months after menarche (first period) and is usually not due to any known disease, but the effects of a hormone called prostaglandin.
While all women are at risk for dysmenorrhea, the following women are more prone to this disorder:
- Women who smoke
- Women who drink alcohol during menses (alcohol tends to prolong menstrual pain)
- Overweight women
- Women who started menstruating before age 11
