简要总结
Dysmenorrhea is a menstrual disorder defined by the presence of painful cramps of uterine origin that occur during menstruation. It is one of the most common causes of pelvic pain and short-term absenteeism from school or work, among young and adult women.
Cryotherapy, therapeutic cooling, is one of the modalities widely used in sports medicine for a variety of treatment purposes. Physiological and neurological responses of musculoskeletal tissues to cooling have been extensively examined in the literature.
详细描述
Dysmenorrhea is an existing mainstream gynecologic problem which habitually affects females of reproductive age.
Dysmenorrhea is of two types: Primary dysmenorrhea and secondary dysmenorrhea :.
primary dysmenorrhea is painful menstrual cramps without any evident pathology to account for them, and it occurs in up to 50% of menstruating females and causes significant disruption in quality of life and absenteeism.
The main cause of primary dysmenorrhea is prostaglandin production. This is naturally present substance that is made by uterine cells. It helps in contraction of the muscles, thus assisting in shedding of the uterine lining every month. When the production of prostaglandin is high, it leads to excessive pain and cramps. The prostaglandin is the main cause of other symptoms associated with primary dysmenorrhea, like nausea and vomiting.
Dysmenorrhea has a negative effect on a woman's life. It may be so severe as to confine the woman to bed during adolescence, dysmenorrhea leads to high rates of absence from school and non-participation in activities. Mild to moderate cases can usually be treated by reassurance and paracetamol
