Pain During Menstruation

Description:

Pain during menstruation, also known as dysmenorrhea, is a common condition that typically occurs in the lower abdomen. It is caused by the contractions of the uterus as it sheds its lining. This pain can range from mild to severe and may be accompanied by other symptoms such as nausea, fatigue, and headaches. The intensity of the pain can vary from cycle to cycle.

Main Causes:

• Uterine contractions
• Hormonal imbalances
• Endometriosis
• Fibroids

Treatment Methods:

Treatment includes the use of over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen, applying heat to the abdomen, and engaging in light physical activity. If pain is severe or persistent, it is advisable to consult a doctor for further evaluation and possible hormonal treatments or medications.
