For those of you who often or even have experienced menstrual pain until you faint, this can indicate something is abnormal with your body or reproductive organs. Let's look at some menstrual conditions to watch out for and can cause menstrual pain to fainting.
Conditions that can cause menstrual pain to fainting
Secondary dysmenorrhea is when you experience menstrual pain caused by an underlying condition, such as a condition that is not in good shape, abnormalities in the reproductive system, or maybe you are using contraceptives. Without a proper medical diagnosis, you cannot directly determine what disease causes menstrual pain to fainting. Here are the symptoms that underlie your different menstrual conditions:
1. Endometriosis
Endometriosis, can be one of the causes of intense pain that causes a person to become unconscious. Usually one of the symptoms of secondary dysmenor occurs when women are of childbearing age, around 20-35 years.
This happens because the tissue that is supposed to line your uterus grows outside of your uterus in your fallopian tubes. This tissue still functions like normal uterine tissue, and will shed into blood during menstruation.
However, because the tissue grows outside the uterus, blood cannot flow outside the body and is trapped inside. This results in severe internal bleeding and inflammation, which can cause menstrual pain to fainting.
2. Uterine fibroids
One type of menstrual pain, can be caused by the presence of uterine fibroids. Uterine fibroids, caused by excessive bleeding. If you experience something like this, it is recommended that you undergo an examination because it can be caused by a benign tumor in the urinary tract. These benign tumors are usually small in size, about 1 cm in size, and appear in women in their 30s or 40s.
Fibroids can be very painful and painful and can cause a woman to become unconscious. Uterine fibroids will also cause excessive bleeding. Generally, bleeding won't stop 3-4 days, but it can last for weeks.
3. Inflammation of the pelvis
Pelvic inflammatory disease is a condition in which pain in the lower abdomen during menstruation is accompanied by fever. This condition is often experienced by many women, even in some cases, women can experience menstrual pain until fainting. Usually, this is due to inflammation near the urinary tract. If left untreated, it will develop into an infection and become a sexually transmitted disease. One example is gonorrhea, which can cause infertility for women who experience it.
4. Anemia
Anemia is not actually a symptom of secondary dysmenorrhoea. This is a condition in which your red blood cell count is lower than normal. Well, this is common during menstruation, where during menstruation, the body releases a lot of blood. If you have anemia, your body doesn't get enough oxygen-rich blood. Since oxygen is circulated through the blood, as a result you may feel weak, even fainting because oxygen does not reach the brain.
What can be done if you pass out due to severe menstrual pain
For those of you who experience menstrual conditions like the one above, the first aid you can do is consult a doctor. Symptoms of weakness to fainting are one of the signs for you to find the right diagnosis to relieve menstrual problems. The doctor will recommend an ultrasound examination, blood test, urine test to hysteroscopy, to find out the cause and action to be taken.
