Among the diseases caused by menstrual disorders, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or menstrual cramps are more common. Therefore, researchers used these two studies as research topics to evaluate the relationship between common reproductive health conditions in women and cardiovascular disease.

Polycystic ovary syndrome is mainly caused by hormonal imbalance in women of childbearing age. When the ovaries produce excessive amounts of androgen, it is easy to cause this disease. Androgen is a male hormone that is usually present in small amounts in women; Dysmenorrhea is a menstrual cycle problem that causes severe and frequent cramping and pain during menstruation.
The first study to assess the association between PCOS and heart disease risk looked at data from regarding 170,000 U.S. girls aged 13 to 17. The team found that those with PCOS In women, the risk of developing high blood pressure was 30% higher than in girls without PCOS, while the prevalence of high blood pressure in those with PCOS was 18.6% compared with those without PCOS. 6.9% of people.
Lead study author Sherry Zhang from Kaiser Permanente Oakland Medical Center said that despite the overwhelming data on cardiovascular problems caused by PCOS throughout the lifespan, Few studies have looked specifically at the associated health risks in adolescents. In addition, she said, studying adolescents will allow us to better identify cardiometabolic complications caused by polycystic ovary syndrome that may occur in young adults, potentially reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease in the future.

Shirley Zhang noted that these studies highlight the importance of routine blood pressure monitoring and lifestyle modifications to prevent high blood pressure in adolescents at risk for PCOS, but the study has certain limitations. , because only a single measurement assesses blood pressure and does not assess the risk of ongoing hypertension.
Does having period pain increase your risk of heart disease?Experts reveal the truth
In addition, to evaluate the relationship between menstrual pain and heart disease, researchers also evaluated 5,000 women under the age of 50. About 30,000 of them were diagnosed with menstrual pain. According to the study, women with menstrual pain suffered from ischemia. The risk of sexual heart disease is twice that of women without menstrual pain, and the risk of angina is three times that of women without menstrual pain.
Eugenia Alleva, the lead author of the second study, said that because menstrual pain is one of the more common physiological problems in women, it is very important to study menstrual pain, which is mainly related to increased stress and Related to interference with the autonomic nervous system. The autonomic nervous system affects the function of the heart and blood vessels and is associated with an increase in certain molecules that cause inflammation in the body.
In addition, inflammation and stress are also associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease, especially among younger women. Stress is more closely related to heart disease, but because the study only evaluated data from 1 time point, it cannot be determined for sure. Is there a temporal correlation between menstrual cramps and heart disease.
