Sometimes the pain is accompanied by headaches, nausea and intense irritation. It is a pain that appears every month. It is not easy to live with this pain. We are talking about "dysmenorrhea" or "menstrual pain" that some women feel during ovulation as well during the period.

The menstrual pain affects mainly the lower abdomen. It is the result of muscle contractions in the uterus that help to shed the endometrium, the lining of the uterus walls whose function is to welcome and nurture a fertilized egg. When there is no fertilization of the egg, the endometrium is eliminated in the form of bleeding. It is menstruation.

In general, menstrual pain does not stand alone, but accompanied by back pain, headache, nausea, breast tenderness, fatigue and irritation. Some situations such as hormonal changes, stress, depression and lack of some essential elements to the body, such as magnesium, fatty acids and vitamin B6, tend to aggravate the pain of dysmenorrhoea.

As for treatment, medications are available both allopathic medicine (anti-inflammatories, contraceptives, antispasmodics, analgesics) and natural (teas, herbs and creams to relieve pain). Evening primrose oil can be a great ally Aerobic exercise done in moderation; a balanced diet and applying heat (heating pad) at the site relieve the symptoms. Drinking water is also important.
