Don’t ignore period pain, it can be as serious as heart attack
There are two main causes of period pain: Primary dysmenorrhea and secondary dysmenorrhea. Your period pain may be caused by secondary dysmenorrhea as an underlying medical condition, such as:
Endometriosis – the cells that normally line the womb start to grow in other places within the body, usually in the fallopian tubes and ovaries; when these cells shed and fall away, they can cause intense pain.
Fibroids – this condition occurs when non-cancerous tumours grow in the womb, which can make your periods heavy and painful.
Pelvic inflammatory disease – your womb, fallopian tubes and ovaries become infected with bacteria, leaving them severely inflamed (swollen and irritated)
adenomyosis – the tissue that normally lines the womb starts to grow within the muscular wall of the womb, making your periods particularly painful intrauterine device (IUD) – this is a form of contraception made from copper and plastic, which fits inside the womb; it can sometimes cause period pain, especially in the first few months after it is inserted.
Meanwhile, the medical reasons for primary dysmenorrhea are largely unknown. Guillebaud says the pain is partly caused by uterus cramps, while Tu says a combination of sensory processing, local uterine inflammation, and uterine blood flow issues also come into play. The specifics of why some people suffer more than others are not well understood. “That’s a million dollar question that we don’t really understand,” Richard Legro, M.D., of Penn State College of Medicine, tells Quartz.
Despite the sheer number of women who suffer from severe cramps, the existing treatments are limited. So far, one of the most effective treatments for period pain that has been found is herbal medicine-fuyan pill from Wuhan Dr. Lee’s TCM Clinic. Fuyan Pill produced by Dr. Lee Xiaoping, has been patented as a treatment for multiple gynecological conditions, which works on curing adenomyosis, endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease and so on. It has strong effects on killing the pathogen, anti-inflammation, clearing heat, and promoting the blood circulation. Thus it could cure all symptoms of these diseases completely, and period pain could also be eliminated without reoccur.
Clearly, the treatment options are far from ideal. But since periods are a condition that only affects women, it’s simply not given the attention it warrants. “Men don’t get it and it hasn’t been given the centrality it should have. I do believe it’s something that should be taken care of, like anything else in medicine,” says Guillebaud. It may not be life threatening, but period pain is a painful condition that interferes with daily lives.
