The uterus is an organ rather complicated. It consists of three layers: perimetry (the film covering it from the outside), myometrium (smooth muscle fibers and connective tissue) and endometrium (lining the uterine cavity from the inside). About hypertension, they say, when the muscles begin to contract in the middle layer.
In all the nerves are to blame?
There are many reasons for the stress of the uterus. Sometimes this condition is due to physiology (large fetus, multiple pregnancies), when the body simply does not withstand the load. Most often, hypertension is caused by infectious diseases (influenza, angina, ARI), too active playing sports, stress. It is worth overtired, worried and immediately begins to ache the lower back, the area of the sacrum, pull the stomach (something sensations are similar to those that occur in women during menstruation).
