Is there any natural treatment for
Dysmenorrhea?
Dysmenorrhea is the term used to describe painful periods. It is
also commonly known as menstrual cramps. About 50 to 70% of women
experience menstrual cramps during their reproductive age. Its
symptoms include cramping, spasmodic pain in the abdomen and the
lower back, which may spread to the thighs.
Dysmenorrhea is of two types:
Primary Dysmenorrhea: in which the pain occurs
due to hormonal imbalance and is not related to any uterine
pathology.
Secondary Dysmenorrhea: in which the pain occurs
due to an underlying uterine pathology.
Symptoms of Dysmenorrhea
Pain is an important symptom of Dysmenorrhea. Some women experience
very severe abdominal cramps and lower back pain, while others
merely experience mild discomfort. The intensity and nature of the
pain varies from woman to woman.
Women usually experience two types of pain:
- A constant dull lower-backache, which may spread to the
thighs
- Cramping spasmodic pains which are like contractions
Other symptoms associated with pain are:
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea/constipation
- Light-headedness
- Dizziness
- Breast tenderness
Conventional Treatment
Conventional treatments for Dysmenorrhea include NSAIDs such as
Ibuprofen and Naproxan; over-the-counter drugs like Aspirin,
Acetaminophen, Pamprin amongst others. Surgery may also be resorted
to in extreme cases. None of these conventional treatments are
known to cure Dysmenorrhea. They only look at Dysmenorrhea from a
superficial, symptomatic perspective. Also, none of them are
without their chunk of side-effects. NSAIDs may lead to
gastrointestinal discomfort, Ulcers in the stomach or even promote
bleeding. Oral contraceptives are also used as the second line of
treatment, but obviously, cannot be used by females who wish to
conceive. The most serious side-effect of Acetaminophen could
include liver damage due to large doses. Aspirin too has numerous
dose-related side-effects which may include Ulcerations, Abdominal
burning, pain, cramping, Nausea, Gastritis, serious
gastrointestinal bleeding and liver toxicity.
