YOUR GUIDE TO MENSTRUAL CRAMPS

Dysmenorrhoea is the medical term for the painful cramps that may occur immediately before, or during the menstrual period. There are two types of dysmenorrhoea, primary and secondary dysmenorrhoea.

Primary dysmenorrhoea is another name for common menstrual cramps. Cramps usually begin one or two years after a female child start having her period. Pain is usually felt in the lower abdomen or back. They can be mild or severe. Common menstrual cramps often start shortly before or at the onset of the period and continue one to three days. The pain become less painful as a woman has her first Baby.

Secondary dysmenorrhoea is pain caused by a disorder in the woman’s reproductive organs. These cramps usually begin earlier in the menstrual cycle and last longer than common menstrual cramps.


SYMPTOMS

*      Aching pain in the abdomen (pain can be severe at times).
*      Feeling of pressure in the abdomen.
*      Pain in the hips, lower back and inner thigh. 

When Cramps are Severe Symptoms may includes:
*      Upset stomach, sometimes with vomiting
*      Loose stools.

ÞNon-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are commonly used to treat cramps.

ÞPhysical exercise can help alleviate menstrual cramps too.

 Dear ladies, from the above understanding about primary dysmenorrhoea which is “The pain become less painful as a woman has her first Baby”... and possibly gone totally after subsequent child bearings, it is therefore safe to advice you not to be forced through mis-advise or lured into having sex while you are not married... and don’t even let this rush you into getting married!
 
If you guess it might not be primary dysmenorrhoea, then contact a medical expert for proper examination and treatment.


Bottom line: Having Sex doesn’t reduce menstrual pain, giving birth only makes it become less painful!
