It can also lead to low self-esteem and loss of jobs at times. Just imagine the loss of communicating to your boss that you failed to attend work because of periodic pain. Therefore, we need to address this issue in this video. We are going to look at the different types of periodic pains where we look at the causes of pain treatment and how you can get rid of them at your home. I mean, the home remedies for periodic pain.

However, today we decided to interrupt that programming and bring you another issue which has been asked most in my inbox, and that is about menstrual period pains, pain during menstruation, or what we call in science Dysmenorrhea is abnormal. It’s abnormal for someone to feel pain while undergoing a demonstration. Menstruation is supposed to be fun for most women, but most of them receive very unpleasant pain. This pain can be in their lower abdomen or what we call the Pelvic region, but some women can also feel it and they are back. And that’s what we call radiation of the pain.

And at times this pain can also be referred or it can radiate the and someone feels pain in the face. They feel pain in the back. They feel pain in the lower abdomen. This is what we call Dysmenorrhea this kind of pain or this Dysmenorrhea are classified into two and there is what we call primary Dysmenorrhea (primary periodic pain) and then secondary Dysmenorrhea (secondary Periodic pain).

Here Are 7 Ways On How To Get Rid Of Menstrual Pain

Let’s look at every category. we are talking about primary Dysmenorrhea. Primary Dysmenorrhea happens to a woman whereby you are feeling pain during menstruation, but there is no damage to your organs. What do I mean? In the pelvis, We have the uterus, the ovaries, the tubes, and so many other structures. So if those structures have a problem, then you can experience abdominal pain during menstruation. But if they have no problem at all, they are all normal and a woman goes on to experience pain during menstruation We call that primary Dysmenorrhea.

This pain is so characteristic that It usually starts actually when a girl is starting Menarch or starting menstruation. Usually, it start when that you start getting the pain from that particular time until adulthood. And also this pain Mostly radiate to the back and these pains are also associated with heavy bleeding. You’ll find that the woman is having heavy blood and then they have that menstrual Pains. What causes this? We’ve seen that there is no abnormality, absolutely no abnormality in the organs, the uterus, the tumors, everything is normal. So what is causing this pain? There is a friend of ours called prostaglandins.

Prostaglandins are one of the hormones is one of the chemicals secreted by the body. And we find that these people with primary Dysmenorrhea secrete high levels of prostaglandins during that period and prostaglandins cause or stimulate the construction of the uterus of the endometrium. You will find that the endometrium is contracting. And then after contracting, of course, the person who feels pain. How does this occur? During Contraction, there is constriction or narrowing of the blood vessels that are supplying or blood vessels of the endometrium or the blood vessels of the uterus. So when these blood vessels are narrowed, it means that less blood is going to supply the endometrium. So because this blood is supplying the endometrium, it means less oxygen is reaching the muscles of the uterus.

When there is less oxygen reaching the muscles of the uterus, the muscles will pain. And this is the same pain people feel what we call cardiac pain. If we look at that also, if we look at the explanation of what can happen, you find that it is the lack of oxygen that is causing the pain. The same thing is applied here in the uterus that someone would feel the pain because of the reduced supply of oxygen. And this is coming from increased levels of prostaglandins, increasing trend contractions, reducing or narrowing the blood vessels, thus reducing blood supply to that back and thus reducing oxygen to that part. And the person will have. And this is what we call primary Dysmenorrhea.

It was said in the beginning, that most of these women also have heavy bleeding. So the same thing will happen because you are having heavy bleeding, especially with the clot they trust have been plucked. It has to contract to eliminate or push out that clot or push out of that blood. And in the process of contracting the body and muscles are again going to constrict the blood vessels when the blood vessels are constricted, less blood supply to that area when there is less blood supply to that area. Remember, in our science, we said that red blood cells carry oxygen.

Therefore, if the blood vessels are reduced, blood supply is reduced. It means oxygen is also going to be reduced in that particular area and therefore you are going to feel pain. There are some risk factors for getting pregnant. What do I mean by risk factors? I mean that if you possess any of the following, there are high chances that you get primary Dysmenorrhea, for example, if in your family a family history of primary Dysmenorrhea, if in your family there is someone on your parents and so on, have been having primary Dysmenorrhea, it means you also have a high chance of getting this temorial. Another issue is Early Menarche. what do Early Menarche means? All girls who begin menstruation early, especially girls who begin menstruation as early as 10 years or 11 years, they are at a very high risk of getting primary Dysmenorrhea. People who smoke and then lastly is obese. There is no where obesity is important for human health. So here it comes. It is also one of the risk factors for getting primary Dysmenorrhea. Now we need to look at secondary Dysmenorrhea.

Secondary Dysmenorrhea is whereby there is an underlying pathology in the Pelvic region. this Means there is an abnormality in the pelvic organ. In the pelvis we have the uterus, the tubes, the ovaries and so on. If any of those structures has an abnormality or if any of those structures is sick, then a woman can experience pain during menstruation.

This pain is also characteristic of in such a way that at times they feel pain even before a week prior administration. So it got that pain can happen at any time. It intensifies during the demonstration or during the masses. So what can really cause secondary Dysmenorrhea.

Firstly and immediately cause 80 or above 80 percent of women with secondary Dysmenorrhea have endometriosis. And what is this thing called endometriosis? Endometriosis is a condition whereby the lining of the uterus implants itself somewhere else. I guess everyone understands our uterus or the womb, It has a space inside. So the membrane that underlies that uterus inside is what we call the endometrium. And it is this endometrium that bleeds during menstruation, actually during menstruation, when the egg is not fertilized due to the underlying need for us will be sheared off. And this is where menstruation comes from. I mean, this is where blood comes from. That is menstruation. Now, what happens when this undermining of the uterus or the endometrial is implanted somewhere else, for example, outside the uterus, in the ovaries or just in the cavity? What would happen this time? Someone is supposed to bleed, will come, and therefore that person will bleed. Bleeding will occur outside the uterus.

And when bleeding occurs outside interest, there is no way it can be eliminated because normally when there is bleeding in the endometrium hole in the inside, the blood will be prepared or will be pushed out through the cervix. And then someone undergoes menstruation, like you see. But now when bleeding happens outside the endometrium, for example, in the ovary, in the tubes or even outside the whole structure, and it happens in the and the plutonium somewhere there, then blood will be there and it has no way it can be eliminated out and that will cause pain.

Therefore, endometriosis is one of the major and main causes of secondary Dysmenorrhea. I guess you’ve understood me. I have said that endometriosis is whereby there is implantation of the underlying trust outside the uterus. And when that happens, there’ll be bleeding outside the trust and that bleeding outside the uterus will cause that discomfort, will cause that pain in another cause of secularism is adenomyosis. Adenomyosis is like a friend to endometriosis. What happens in adenomyosis?

This is where by the end of this uterus is not implanted within the utility muscles. What we mean when we are looking at the uterus we say they trust has clearly as it has that membrane, which is outside all the muscles that are outside the uterus, then the muscles in between and the muscles inside.

So they step outside the layer in between. And then there is the inner layer. So at times in some people you find that the undermining of the trust, the endometrium will implant itself in the middle of the muscles of the uterus. And when this happens, of course, everything will occur in the middle of the muscles, inside the muscles. And when bleeding occurs inside, the muscles against severe pain is going to occur during your menses. What else can cause Dysmenorrhea is overemphasised.

The overdiagnosis I discussed about the ovarian system, and I guess if you’d like to get more about it, you can check one of my videos concerning overdiagnosis. These ovarian are one of the causes of secondary Dysmenorrhea, these inflammatory diseases. I also discussed about this, but they can also cause secondary this Melodia. They are also what we call polyps. Polyps like growth within the uterus, the cervix or anywhere in the region. Those polyps or the growth or the masses can cause this material, which is secondary. And lastly, I’ll talk about fibroid, fibroid. We talked also about the fibroids. I would explain to them we would like to know more about the fibroids. But now, most importantly, we would like to know how you can help yourself. We are looking at the home remedies, what you can do if you have this condition, whether it’s permanent or secondary, but mainly it should be the Primary Dysmenorrhea .

There are many things you can do about it, but for the secondary Dusmenorrhea, you need to go to the hospital. And they treated the course because we’ve seen that for secondary Dysmenorrhea. there is absolutely an underlying cause. There is a pathology within the pelvic organs, like endometriosis, adenomyosis ideas or any of those infections and so on. So if you have any of them, then you need to go to the hospital, get treatment, of course, disciplinary you will go. But if it is a primary Dysmenorrhea, this one, you have no control. You will not do anything about it. There is no disease known that you can treat. So what are you going to do? You could do something at home in order to get relief.

-Number one, we recommend exercise, do some extra exercise.

Actually, it has shown that it produces it leads to production of endorphins . When you do exercise, they stimulate production of endorphins and endorphins. Are those hormones in the body that make you feel good? So even during that kind of displeasure, feeling the pain, the endorphins can act in a way that there is no pain and you feel good. So exercise can help. You can do some yoga, you can be jogging, you can do some good exercise, and then you can have relief of that pain.

– Secondly use warm water. You can get warm water, you can either drink it and some people can. Some people put it in the bottle or something. They let up in the container and then just massage in the lower abdomen. Something else you can do is to take a position that is comfortable for you. There are some positions that are really good that are helpful for someone. For example, the bend, if you bend upwards or even in front like you see in this picture, if you have that pain and you take that position, some people will feel some relief. Now, if all those ones cannot work for you, then the next step, and that is the medication.

– You can buy some medicines. They are over-the-counter medicines, cold and AIDS, NSAIDs and. Steroids and inflammatory drugs are examples of these drugs are ibuprofen, Coxie, diclofenac, those medicines can help you to reduce that pain. Well, because they do act on remember we talked about the cause. The main cause of this primary this year is the production, excessive production of prostaglandins, you remember. So what these NSAIDs will do is to reduce that is to reduce the supply, to inhibit the suppression of prostaglandins. And when these prostaglandins are reduced, of course, the pain will also reduce and it will go so you can take painkillers or those painkillers we are talking about.

If a person is one of the commonest used so you can use imipramine or what you people call bluefin, you can use diclofenac, you can use celecoxib, you can also use Morphene. It is a little stronger than the above. There’s also drugs and so on. So when you’re using those NASD, you should also remember that they are not good or they’re not supposed to be used in some conditions. For example, if you have ulcers, if you have ulcers, then and it’s not a good area for you people with bleeding disorders. If you have any bleeding or your doctor told you have a bleeding disorder, you have such kind of disease.

If you have eczema, then it will prevent all those illnesses. May not be good for you. And you should also seek advice from your doctor before you use them. Now, if the pain persists after using your ibuprofen, you’ve used a combination. By the way, if you also get a combination of ibuprofen or a combination of the coffee with paracetamol or what most people call Panadol, if you get that combination, it can be better for you to get relief in that pill. So but if the pain fails, if it persists, then you need to go to the hospital and get more advanced painkillers because we have what we call the analgesic. If we use the NSAIDs and they are not able to work, we can go to other painkillers like the opioids and so on, can even reach the level of pteridine.

if you use their analgesics and they really don’t work for you, then we can opt for oral contraceptive piece, but will, of course, use these contraceptive pills in a person who does not want to give birth shortly. So how will they work this oral contraceptive pill, stop ovulation? And when the ovulation is stopped, of course, the prostaglandins will not be stimulated. And when prostaglandins are not stimulated, we’ve seen it in the first up of theirs.
