MENSTRUAL PAIN or JEKO
โ
Cramps and pelvic pain with menstruation, with common causes such as heavy flow, passing clots, uterine fibroids or endometriosis.
CAUSES:
โ
A hormone called prostaglandin triggers muscle contractions in your uterus that expel the lining.
โThese contractions can cause pain and inflammation. The level of prostaglandin rises right before menstruation begins.
Painful menstrual causes
๐Premenstrual syndrome (PMS). PMS is a common condition thatโs caused by hormonal changes in the body occurring 1 to 2 weeks before menstruation begins. Symptoms typically go away after bleeding begins.
๐Endometriosis. This is a painful medical condition in which cells from the lining of the uterus grow in other parts of the body, usually on the fallopian tubes, ovaries, or tissue lining the pelvis
๐Fibroids in the uterus. Fibroids are noncancerous tumors that can put pressure on the uterus or cause abnormal menstruation and pain, though they often donโt cause symptoms.
๐Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). PID is an infection of the uterus, fallopian tubes, or ovaries often caused by sexually transmitted bacteria that cause inflammation of the reproductive organs and pain.
๐Adenomyosis. This is a rare condition in which the uterine lining grows into the muscular wall of the uterus, causing inflammation, pressure, and pain. It can also cause longer or heavier periods
๐Cervical stenosis. Cervical stenosis is a rare condition in which the cervix is so small or narrow that it slows menstrual flow, causing an increase of pressure inside the uterus that causes pain
Complications of painful periods
๐Certain conditions associated with menstrual cramps can have complications, though.
For example, โ
endometriosis can cause fertility problems.
โ
Pelvic inflammatory disease can scar your fallopian tubes, increasing the risk of a fertilized egg implanting outside of your uterus (ectopic pregnancy
