In what is considered a not very satisfactory condition for women, who struggle between monthly pains or the amount of bleeding, it seems that the situation worsens with age, that is, the menstrual cycle becomes more painful.
This happens before you enter menopause symptoms. Valentina Milanova, founder of the virtual women's health clinic "Daye", talks about the factors that influence this deterioration and how to alleviate the situation.
So why can periods get worse with age?
“Gynecological factors such as endometriosis, adenomyosis and uterine fibroids tend to develop and progress over time. These disorders can cause increasingly painful periods, especially from age 30, 40 onwards,” she says.
She added that even during perimenopause and the transition to menopause, estrogen levels can fluctuate and fall, which can lead to more pain during the cycle for many women. But our lifestyle can also affect the part of inflammation. Factors such as weight gain, stress and poor sleep are elements that worsen with age, and this can also affect the worsening of periods.
How to relieve menstrual pain that worsens with age?
Managing stress, maintaining a healthy weight, getting enough sleep and being physically active can help reduce period pain. But, if the pain is almost unmanageable to the extent that it affects your daily life, then this sign is the indicator that you should turn to professional doctors.
