While most women experience some type of uterine contractions during their menstrual cycle, dysmenorrhea is diagnosed when the cramps are recurrent. They usually occur in your lower abdomen, back, or thighs.<\/p>\n
The condition requires treatment when these cramps, which usually occur one to two days before your bleeding starts, interfere with daily activity. You may experience nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and diarrhea along with the cramps.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/i><\/span>What other conditions can cause severe menstrual cramps?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>\nA disorder affecting your reproductive organs can also cause painful cramps that last longer than normal and that begin sooner in your menstrual cycle. Possible causes include:<\/p>\n
\n- Endometriosis<\/li>\n
- Fibroids<\/li>\n
- Adenomyosis<\/li>\n
- Infection<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Cases of secondary dysmenorrhea caused by an underlying health problem don\u2019t usually involve nausea, vomiting, or fatigue.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/i><\/span>How is dysmenorrhea diagnosed?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>\nIf you have menstrual cramps that interfere with your daily life or the cramps last for more than three days, seek a consultation at Women to Women OB GYN Care. Dr. Gray or Dr. Maslyak reviews your symptoms and medical history, and you\u2019ll also undergo a pelvic exam and possibly imaging, blood, and urine tests.<\/p>\n
If they suspect your dysmenorrhea is caused by another condition, such as endometriosis, further testing may be ordered.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/i><\/i><\/span>How can I manage menstrual cramps?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>\nIf you have mild to moderate recurrent cramps around your menstrual cycle and they\u2019re not caused by a condition involving your reproductive organs, you can take action at home to help ease discomfort. This includes:<\/p>\n
\n- Using a heating pad on your lower back or abdomen<\/li>\n
- Taking ibuprofen or another over-the-counter pain reliever at the first signs of bleeding or cramping<\/li>\n
- Resting and avoiding caffeine<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Some women find that smoking and alcohol consumption aggravate menstrual symptoms, so avoid these substances around the time of your period.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/i><\/span>What medical interventions help relieve dysmenorrhea?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>\nIf conservative at-home remedies don\u2019t relieve your symptoms, Dr. Gray or Dr. Maslyak may provide you with prescription-level pain medications that deliver a higher dose than over-the-counter options. They may also suggest you go on hormonal birth control pills, which can make cramping less intense.<\/p>\n
If you have secondary dysmenorrhea, the doctors will offer treatment to resolve the underlying condition causing your cramping.<\/p>\n
