Study Notes
Treatment Guidelines
- Surgical intervention is a last resort after all other treatment options have failed.
- A preoperative trial with GnRH analogue is crucial to verify if ovarian removal during hysterectomy will alleviate the condition.
Dysmenorrhea
- Dysmenorrhea refers specifically to menstrual pain that impairs normal activities and necessitates medication.
- Mild menstrual discomfort is common; however, dysmenorrhea requires more significant intervention.
Pathogenesis Theories
- Menstrual pain is commonly linked to ovulatory cycles.
- Uterine contractions during menstruation can diminish blood flow, causing uterine hypoxia.
- Increased leukotriene levels have been identified as a contributing factor to menstrual pain.
- Pain relief mechanisms may involve the absence of ovulation or changes in the endometrium, resulting in lower prostaglandin production.
