Dysmenorrhea is a condition that we should pay attention to, and it has a serious impact and harm on women. When dysmenorrhea occurs, we must check it in time and treat it symptomatically.

Dangers of dysmenorrhea

1. Aging

If women have frequent dysmenorrhea, it will lead to imbalance of Qi and blood, and free radicals in the body will be abnormally active. It causes women to age up to 5 years earlier than normal women. Especially women who suffer from menstrual dysmenorrhea always have a dull complexion and dry skin, which are easily the hidden culprits of facial problems such as spots and acne.

2. Impact on work and study

Women may experience unbearable pain in their lower abdomen before and after menstruation, even while sitting or standing. If it seriously affects normal work and study, you may have to stay in bed. The waist will also be very sore, and symptoms such as dizziness, cold sweats, and weakness in the limbs will appear. Painkillers may not be effective at this time.

3. Infertility

If dysmenorrhea is secondary, it is mostly due to gynecological diseases. Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease and chronic cervicitis can all cause it. These diseases are likely to cause infertility in women. Therefore, dysmenorrhea should not be taken lightly and the cause should be checked out in time. And take good care of yourself in life.

4. Impact on married life

Dysmenorrhea is only the most obvious external manifestation of uterine abnormalities. Abnormal uterus will also gradually reduce the number of surface cells and secretions in the vagina, causing vaginal atrophy, dryness and discomfort, and painful sexual displeasure. 60% of women with dysmenorrhea are prone to symptoms such as low sexual desire, poor sexual performance, pelvic soreness after sex, and metritis after marriage, which directly leads to disharmony in the sexual life of couples.
