Wednesday, April 19, 2006 mfing cramps. 6:40 PM anyway got through the practical (later on that) alright. i am happy! we did a great job! i love all my fat virgins yippeee. anyway meya told me to go study and i was like go away i have cramps. and then he says: meya says: you have dysmenorrhea (whatever the f that is. it's just BLOODY PAINFUL cramps) meya says: In primary dysmenorrhea, there is no underlying gynecologic problem causing the pain. This type of cramping usually begins at menarche (the beginning of menstruation), the time when a girl starts having menstrual periods. (like i don't know that. that bloody happens to me every month) meya says: In secondary dysmenorrhea, some underlying abnormal condition (usually involving a woman's reproductive system) contributes to the menstrual pain. Secondary dysmenorrhea may be evident at menarche but, more often, the condition develops later. (thanks for the lesson mister. you can stop now.) meya says: Menstrual cramps are caused by uterine contractions. The cramping sensation is intensified when clots or pieces of bloody tissue from the lining of the uterus pass through the cervix, especially if a woman's cervical canal is narrow. The difference between menstrual cramps that are more painful and those that are less painful is apparently related to a woman's prostaglandin levels. Women with menstrual cramps have prostaglandin blood levels that are 5-13 times higher than women who do not experience cramps. Menstrual cramps are very similar to those a pregnant woman experiences when she is given prostaglandin as a medication to induce labor. (oh joy.) meya says: Lack of exercise is now recognized to contribute to painful menstrual cramps. (aaaah that explains it. i havent exercised in ages) meya says: It has long been thought that psychological factors also play a role. For example, it is widely accepted that emotional stress can increase the discomfort of menstrual cramps. (yes i am fucking stressed i have got bloody exams coming. yarrrgh) meya says: Menstrual cramps usually start shortly before the menstrual period, peak within 24 hours after the onset of the pains, and subside again after a day or two. Menstrual cramps may be accompanied by a headache and/or nausea, which can lead, although infrequently, to the point of vomiting. Menstrual cramps can also be accompanied by either constipation or diarrhea because the prostaglandin (PGF2alpha), which causes smooth muscles to contract, are found in both the uterus and intestinal tract. Some women experience an urge to urinate more frequently. (OMG i didn't know that! i should have soooo done medicine.) meya says: Current recommendations include not only adequate rest and sleep, but also regular exercise (especially walking). Some women find that abdominal massage, yoga, or orgasmic sexual activity help. A heating pad applied to the abdominal area may relieve the pain and congestion. (HAHAHHAHa) okay so yes i found out a lot of things about cramps, even stuff i didn't need to know. just one thing. MEN: if a girl tells you she's got cramps, refarin from giving her a damn science lecture about her reproductive system, because, at the moment she isnt too happy with it. i, personally, would like to hang my uterus on a clothes line. all she needs is sympathy. and attention. and a dose of panadol. so if you can give her all of these things, she'll feel MUCH much better. skip the science lesson yea? even if you are a med student. sigh. on a completely unrelated note: MENstrual cramps MENopause MENstruation aMEN. 1 comments |
