How endometriosis causes dysmenorrhea

Dysmenorrhea has become a common phenomenon among women. There are many causes of dysmenorrhea, and endometriosis is a typical symptom. Let's take a look at the causes and clinical symptoms of endometriosis to help readers better understand the common sense of dysmenorrhea.

Endometriosis refers to the growth, infiltration, and repeated bleeding of endometrial tissue (glands and stroma) in areas other than the endometrium and uterine basal layer of the uterine cavity, which may form nodules and masses. The main manifestations of endometriosis are progressive dysmenorrhea, which is mostly located in the lower abdomen and lumbosacral region and can radiate to the vagina, perineum, anus, or thighs. It often starts 1 to 2 days before menstruation, is most severe on the first day of menstruation, and gradually subsides after menstruation, but progressively worsens with the menstrual cycle, and the degree of pain is not proportional to the size of the lesion. When the ectopic endometrium involves the rectouterine pouch and the uterosacral ligament, there is often pain during sexual intercourse and a feeling of heaviness and distension in the anus, especially during menstruation; abdominal wall scar endometriosis.

During menstruation, the scars on the abdominal wall increase and cause severe pain; intestinal endometriosis is accompanied by diarrhea or constipation, and even periodic blood in the stool, which can cause unbearable pain during defecation; bladder endometriosis can cause periodic frequent urination, dysuria, or blood in the urine; ovarian chocolate cysts rupture can cause acute abdominal pain and peritoneal irritation, which are similar to the symptoms of ectopic pregnancy rupture. Generally, the severity of dysmenorrhea is not affected by the length of the menstrual cycle, but because dysmenorrhea itself manifests as abdominal pain during menstruation, those with longer menstrual periods often have longer pain durations, which is most prominent in patients with endometriosis.

The above are the clinical phenomena and causes of endometriosis. I hope that readers will understand endometriosis, pay attention to the dysmenorrhea caused by this symptom, and receive appropriate treatment as early as possible to effectively cure the disease and prevent complications of other gynecological diseases.
