Ovarian pain in menstruation

There are two main types of pain in the menstrual period:

  • Primary dysmenorrhoea: it is a natural side effect of the menstrual period. It suffers during the days of bleeding. It is a strong pain but it is not usually associated with any other problem of the uterus or pelvic organs.
  • Secondary dysmenorrhoea: is caused by an underlying disease, usually related to some problem of the reproductive system ( endometriosis , uterine fibromyoma, inflammatory disease of the pelvis, etc.). These usually cause much more pain and discomfort than the cases of primary dysmenorrhea.

The pains associated with the rule appear mainly in the abdominal area, where we find the uterus and the ovaries. However, the pain or discomfort can also spread to other areas of the body such as the back, breasts, vagina, rectum, joints, bones, etc.

It is important to remember that not all women have menstrual pains and that a woman can have painful periods alternating with periods without discomfort.

What is the pain in menstruation?

We are many women that we have ever asked ourselves: Why does the rule hurt? What causes menstrual discomfort?

Most menstrual pains are a side effect of the natural process of menstruation.

The pains occur when the muscular wall of the uterus favored by the prostaglandin is contracted. This hormone boosts inflammation and contractions of the uterus, which causes pain and evacuation of the endometrial wall, known as bleeding, menstruation, or menstruation.

Headaches are also quite common during the period or in the days close to it. They may be due to the abrupt variation of sex hormones in the blood.

Headache in menstruation

There are experts who also associate it with an increase in blood pressure that occurs to compensate for the loss of blood from the body. Prostaglandins can also cause menstrual headache.

Sometimes, intrauterine devices (IUDs) can also cause pain during the menstrual period.
