Menstrual pain

What is menstrual pain and why can it be so intense for so many women?

Menstrual pain, also known as dysmenorrhea, is intense cramping in the lower abdomen, often accompanied by headaches, nausea and fatigue. These pains usually occur just before or during menstruation, and can be severe enough to disrupt daily activities. They are caused by the contraction of the uterus, which expels the uterine lining. Prostaglandins, chemicals produced naturally by the body, are largely responsible for these contractions. The higher the level of prostaglandins, the more painful the cramps, which explains why some women suffer more than others. Dysmenorrhea can also be exacerbated by medical conditions such as endometriosis or uterine fibroids.

Where does menstrual pain come from, and what impact does it have on health and well-being?

Menstrual pain is mainly caused by uterine contractions, but can also be influenced by hormonal and psychological factors. During menstruation, the uterus contracts to expel the endometrium, causing cramps. Excessive production of prostaglandins, the hormones that trigger these contractions, can increase pain. Beyond the physical discomfort, these pains can have consequences for women's mental health and well-being, notably by causing stress, irritability and even depression. In the long term, the impact of dysmenorrhea can lead to a reduced quality of life, lower productivity at work or school, and relationship difficulties, impacting everyday social life.
