For many girls, menstrual abdominal pain is a very common thing, so when dysmenorrhea do you want to take painkillers? Dysmenorrhea taking painkillers will have any side effects? I believe this is a problem that many girls are very concerned about. Today, I'm going to give you some science popularization.
Unbearable pain of life: different types of dysmenorrhea?
There are many factors that can affect menstruation in life. First of all, we must distinguish clearly that dysmenorrhea, which is not unfamiliar to female friends, can be divided into two types: primary dysmenorrhea and secondary dysmenorrhea. Secondary dysmenorrhea is caused by visceral lesions in the body. Dysmenorrhea in this case must go to the hospital to check whether the body has potential diseases. The main body of most girls' menstrual pain is primary menstrual pain, which is the physiological factor that causes dysmenorrhea, which means dysmenorrhea is an unavoidable physical problem for these girls.
Of course, menstruation is also affected by external objective factors. In a long-term environment with worrying health conditions, frequent exposure to inhaled smoke, second-hand smoke, and harmful chemicals, not to mention menstruation will be affected, and the probability of pathological changes in various parts of the body is greatly increased; The subjective factors of dysmenorrhea are closely related to women's living conditions. Bad eating habits, work and rest habits and lack of exercise of female friends may lead to dysmenorrhea.
There is a reason for pain: why dysmenorrhea?
At present, western medicine research shows that the main culprits of dysmenorrhea are as follows,
First of all, please name our number one dysmenorrhea 'culprit' - prostaglandin and interleukin. During menstruation, the increase of prostaglandins and interleukin in women leads to contraction and spasm of uterine smooth muscle.
Secondly, we should not underestimate the second culprit who causes dysmenorrhea: blood flow resistance. Menstrual blood outflow is usually affected by uterine blood flow resistance. When blood flow resistance increases, menstrual blood circulation is not smooth, uterine blood vessels will contract, and women's bodies will inevitably feel something wrong.
Finally, the third culprit who causes dysmenorrhea is also guilty of pain sensitivity. Our body's spinal cord and thalamus can sense pain. During menstrual period, the inhibition of sensory network of spinal cord and thalamus will be relieved to a certain extent and become particularly sensitive. In short, menstrual women can detect more pain than the average period of pain.
Do not take the medicine 'the pain is not ready to live', takes the painkiller to be afraid of the side effect?
It is better to understand the different types of menstruation, understand the causes of dysmenorrhea, and then return to the problem of "taking medicine or not". In the face of endless menstrual pain, should we take "active" treatment, or "Inaction" to endure it? In the final analysis, the "dysmenorrhea pain relief secret recipe" and "dysmenorrhea prevention tips" flying all over the Internet are to solve the problem of dysmenorrhea. We blindly believe that the "Internet-based" secret recipe, which lacks scientific research, is flocking to the analgesic drugs prescribed by doctors. However, it is all caused by Internet rumors.
Here, we are not advocating to take painkillers blindly regardless of the condition of dysmenorrhea. It is to ensure that they do not need further treatment of secondary dysmenorrhea, taking medicine according to the doctor's advice is a normal choice for women to deal with primary dysmenorrhea and other causes of dysmenorrhea. The situation of dysmenorrhea can not be avoided. It will not "self heal" by enduring pain. On the contrary, it will cause pain to the body, which will affect life.
On the other hand, we take analgesics according to the doctor's instructions. On the one hand, we avoid the risk of taking drugs blindly, so as to relieve pain and stop loss. On the other hand, without abusing painkillers, the body's dependence on drugs is impossible. In addition, under the effect of human metabolism, the side effects of timely and appropriate medication on human body are very little, so-called 'drug residues' also disappear with time.
Tangled results:
Dysmenorrhea is a problem that most girls often face, and few people understand it very well. But fear comes from ignorance. If we want to eliminate the fear of dysmenorrhea, we should first understand the different types of dysmenorrhea and make judgment on the types of dysmenorrhea, so as to seek medical treatment as soon as possible. However, when primary dysmenorrhea and other causes lead to high incidence of dysmenorrhea, it is not so terrible to take painkillers according to the doctor's advice.
Dysmenorrhea is, of course, a "pain" that is difficult for the body to heal itself. In our life, we should take more exercise to enhance our physical fitness, and cultivate healthy eating habits and good regular work and rest. If the pain is still 'visited', according to the doctor's advice, appropriate and timely use of drugs is the real way to relieve pain. Last but not least, please make sure that you are really dysmenorrhea before taking painkillers. Don't mistake stomachache and other pains for dysmenorrhea.
