Dysmenorrhoea (Period pains) – 8 homeopathic medicines

Cramps and pelvic pain with menstruation are common causes such as heavy flow, passing clots, uterine fibroids or endometriosis. Period pains usually felt as painful muscle cramps in the tummy, which can spread to the back and thighs.

Dysmenorrhoea, what are the causes?

It’s not always possible to identify the cause of painful menstrual periods. Some people are just at a higher risk of having painful periods.

These risks include:

• being under age 20
• having a family history of painful periods
• smoking
• having heavy bleeding with periods
• having irregular periods
• never having had a baby
• reaching puberty before age 11

A hormone called prostaglandin triggers muscle contractions in your uterus that expel the lining. These contractions can cause pain and inflammation. The level of prostaglandin rises right before menstruation begins.

Symptoms of menstrual cramps include:

• Throbbing or cramping pain in your lower abdomen that can be intense
• Pain that starts 1 to 3 days before your period, peaks 24 hours after the onset of your period and subsides in 2 to 3 days
• Dull, continuous ache
• Pain that radiates to your lower back and thighs

Some women also have:

• Nausea
• Loose stools
• Headache
• Dizziness
