Hello Friends,

I am back again to discuss about monthly famine discomfort and its biological mechanism.

ALL ABOUT PERIOD PAIN

What is Period Pain (Dysmenorrhea)?

Dysmenorrhea also known as Painful Periods or Menstrual Cramps is pain during menstruation. Its usual onset occurs around the time that menstruation begins. Symptoms typically last less than three days. The pain is usually concentrated in the lower abdomen or pelvis. It is also commonly felt in the right or left side of the abdomen. It may radiate to the thighs and lower back. It is the most common menstrual disorder that typically starts within a year of the first menstrual period; often the pain improves with age or following having a child.

Why Period Pain Occurs?

During a woman's menstrual cycle, the endometrium thickens in preparation for potential pregnancy. After ovulation, if the ovum is not fertilized and there is no pregnancy, the built-up uterine tissue is not needed and thus shed.

Uterine Contractions:  When the uterine muscles contract, they constrict the blood supply to the tissue of the endometrium, which, in turn, breaks down and dies. These uterine contractions continue as they squeeze the old, dead endometrial tissue through the cervix and out of the body through the vagina. These contractions, and the resulting temporary oxygen deprivation to nearby tissues, are responsible for the pain or "cramps" experienced during menstruation.

Treatment:

Medications that may help include NSAIDs such as ibuprofen, hormonal birth control, and the IUD with progestogen. These medications can give temporary relief but it could lead to serious long lasting side effects.

During the menstrual cycle, the blood circulation gets obstructed in lower abdominal area. A massage helps in improving blood circulation and getting rid of all obstructions. This results in smoother blood flow and reduces the stomach pain during periods. With the help of a natural pain relieving Gel like Herdays, you can reduce stomach cramps or pain in the abdomen.
