Dysmenorrhea is defined as symptoms associated with menstruation, such as abdominal pain, cramping and lumbago, that interfere with daily activity. Primary dysmenorrhea refers to menstrual pain without underlying pathology, whereas secondary dysmenorrhea is menstrual pain associated with underlying pathology. Endometriosis, one of the main causes of secondary dysmenorrhea, induces dysmenorrhea, pelvic pain and infertility, resulting in marked reduction of quality of life during reproductive age. This review article is a comprehensive overview of dysmenorrhea and endometriosis in young women.
痛经被定义为与月经相关的症状,如腹痛、痉挛和腰痛,这些症状会干扰日常活动。原发性痛经是指无潜在病理原因的经期疼痛,而继发性痛经是与潜在病理原因相关的经期疼痛。子宫内膜异位症是继发性痛经的主要原因之一,可引发痛经、盆腔疼痛和不孕,导致育龄期生活质量显著下降。这篇综述文章全面概述了年轻女性的痛经和子宫内膜异位症。
