Does dysmenorrhea occur during adolescence? How can women cope with dysmenorrhea correctly

Women begin to enter puberty from the age of 12 to 13. The estrogen level in the body rises, the breast bulges, the reproductive organogenesis change, the voice becomes thin, and menstruation comes.

How should we deal with the physiological pain of adolescence?

How do adolescent women cope with dysmenorrhea?

Many adolescent women suffer from physiological pain, with obvious bloating and spasmodic pain in the lower abdomen before and after or during physiological periods. In severe cases, women may turn pale, sweat or faint during pain. Generally speaking, this type of dysmenorrhea is primary dysmenorrhea, without organic lesions, and often occurs in the first year after menarche. So far, the causes of dysmenorrhea are not clear and may be related to excessive mental stress, sensitivity to pain, and an increase in prostaglandins in the body. When adolescent women have symptoms of dysmenorrhea, they should go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible to see if there are any changes in the reproductive system. A considerable number of girls can only improve their menstrual cramps after getting married and having children. Women should correctly cope with the tension and discomfort during menstruation, pay attention to local cleanliness and hygiene, avoid cold food, vigorous exercise, waist tapping, pelvic congestion, and prolong the menstrual period. Ensure sufficient sleep, balanced nutrition, and avoid sitting for long periods of time. Instead, do yoga and take a walk to divert attention. When dysmenorrhea is very severe or lasts for more than 3 days, painkillers can be used reasonably to alleviate it.

What problems do adolescent women still face?

1. Adolescent functional bleeding

The hypothalamic pituitary gonadal axis of adolescent women is not yet fully developed, and the follicles are also immature, often leading to anovulation and abnormal uterine bleeding. Generally, one to two years after the first menstrual period, there will be puberty blood supply, and women's menstrual cycle will be disrupted, with a significant increase in menstrual volume. The menstrual period will last for 7-10 days. Many girls feel embarrassed about seeking help from their families and have been delaying treatment, ultimately leading to severe anemia. Therefore, parents should be interested in adolescent girls, communicate with them more, and understand their physiological and psychological changes. Once abnormal symptoms are found, seek medical attention in a timely manner to identify the cause and see if it is caused by the disease. The main principles of adolescent functional therapy are to stop bleeding, correct anemia problems, and adjust the menstrual cycle.
