CAUSES
the cramps you feel as a result of dysmenorrhea are caused by uterine contractions (when your uterus tightens and relaxes, allowing blood to leave your uterus).
- The lining of your uterus releases special chemicals called “prostaglandins” . These chemicals are released from the lining of the uterus and increase the strength of the contractions, especially during the first couple of days of a woman’s menstrual cycle (when levels are high).
- High levels of prostaglandins may also cause nausea, diarrhea and light headed ness.
SYMPTOMS
- lower back pain
- cramping in the lower area of the abdomen during their periods.
- This pain can range from dull to throbbing.
- nausea
- vomiting
- loose bowel movements/diarrhea
- constipation
- bloating in the belly area
- headache
