Menstrual pain and spasms are not traditionally considered medicine as something alarming, but a new study conducted by researchers from Taiwan, can reverse this trend. The researchers suggested that because of these changes a woman's brain cramps.
Experts from Taiwan have decided to use the so-called voxel morphometry (NMR images are superimposed on the structural "map" of the brain), to use it to analyze the anatomy of the brain of 32 young women who complained menstrual cramps varying degrees of severity. These spasms have been observed for several years. For comparison also scanned the brains of 32 young women who did not experience menstrual pain and spasms.
Even when women suffering from dysmenorrhea Did not experience any pain in the gray matter of their brains still observed anomaly as noted study author Dr. Jen-Chuen Ksiey, professor of neurology at the Institute of Neurology University of Yang-Ming in Taipei.
These differences include the abnormal increase in those brain regions that are thought to be responsible for the processing of pain and the emotional regulation. It is unclear exactly how changes in the brain can affect the perception of pain in women. However, these abnormalities suggest that menstrual pain It is similar to other types of chronic pain. And in this case, its long-term effects on the brain can lead to the fact that the perception of pain over the years, will become worse.
