Reason For Pain During Periods Are
Higher Level of Prostaglandins in the Body
Period pain and cramps are referred to Dysmenorrhea. Some women have higher levels of the hormone called Prostaglandin that triggers the contractions of the muscles to aid the uterus to expel the blood each month. As a result, of this contraction in the uterine muscles, you experience the cramps during your periods. More specifically the contractions of the uterine wall compress the blood vessels that line the uterus as a result of which there is lesser blood supply to the uterus; without oxygen, the body produces toxic chemicals that are the cause of the pain during periods. This is termed as Primary Dysmenorrhea, which is normal and nothing serious. It lessens with age and sometimes even stops after the delivery of a baby.
Now the other type of Dysmenorrhea is termed as the Secondary Dysmenorrhea, which is certainly a cause for concern. It happens due to the complications or disorder in the reproductive organs of a woman. This pain is severe and lasts throughout the menstrual cycle. Some of the causes are mentioned as under:
Endometriosis
This is a medical condition wherein the cells that in normal condition lines your uterus starts growing in other places of your body other than in the Uterus; It starts growing in the ovaries and fallopian tubes. As a result, when the lining sheds it causes serious cramps that become unbearable.
Pelvic Inflammatory Disease
When your uterus, Ovaries and fallopian get infected by bacteria, it causes inflammation in those organs resulting in the severe cramps and pain in periods. The organs become swollen and cause irritation.
Fibroids
Fibroids are originally tumors that start growing in the uterus causing heavy flow during those days of your month and causes unbearable pain due to the heavy flow. These tumors are generally non-cancerous so that fear for the deadly disease can be ignored. However if you are diagnosed with fibroids you should start your medication immediately to remove the tumors.
Intrauterine Device
It is a contraceptive device normally made of plastic and copper. It is inserted in the womb to lessen the chance of conception. This sometimes is the reason behind pain in periods during the first couple of months after it is inserted in the womb.
Adenomyosis
This is yet another medical disorder responsible for Period pains. In this case, the tissues that are supposed to form the lining of the uterus under normal condition starts growing inside the muscular wall of the uterus. This causes in the heavy period along with the unbearable period cramps that compel you to shun all your daily chores and remain at home.
