More Pain During Periods why
Every woman experiences pain at the beginning of her period, but for some, it can last for several days and be more severe than normal. We learn the reasons for this from Dr. Saloni Chadha, Gynecology Department, RML Hospital.
Before menopause, most women experience periods once a month. During this time, they experience significant pain, including stomach cramps, mood swings, and fatigue. However, some women experience severe pain during their periods, lasting for several days. This pain can be so severe that it can even interfere with regular activities. In medical terms, this condition is called dysmenorrhea. Let’s learn from an expert about why this happens and whether it’s dangerous.
Dr. Saloni Chadha, Associate Professor in the Department of Gynecology at RML Hospital in Delhi, explains that every woman experiences pain at the beginning of her period. This pain can be both mild and severe, but in some women, the pain can last for several days and is intense. This is because the female body produces the hormone prostaglandin during menstruation. In some women, this hormone is produced in excess. If it is produced in excess, the uterine muscles contract more. This contraction causes the pain to intensify and last for several days.
Dr. Saloni explains that women with fibroids or cysts also experience more pain during their periods. If a woman is under mental stress, which increases her cortisol hormone levels, this can also cause pain.
Some symptoms can be serious
Dr. Saloni explains that it’s normal to experience severe pain for a day or two during your period, but if it persists for other days and is causing difficulty with any activity, you should consult a doctor. If you experience symptoms such as heavy bleeding, vomiting, fever, or dizziness along with the pain, go to the hospital immediately. Don’t be careless about this.
