Menstruation stomachache is considered to be caused by physiological factors, gastritis, gastric ulcer and other reasons, as follows:
1. Physiological factors When
women enter menstrual period, estrogen and progesterone levels fluctuate greatly, which may stimulate the gastrointestinal tract and cause symptoms of menstrual stomachache.
2. Gastritis
Women are usually weak in body resistance during menstrual period. If they are invaded by pathogenic bacteria at this time, they may cause gastritis and then stomach pain symptoms.
3. Gastric ulcer
If women suffer from gastric ulcer themselves, food may rub ulcer surface after eating, causing the above symptoms.
