Pain-free Menstruation: How Achievable?
« on: February 29, 2008, 05:10 AM »

Fellow nairalanders, please i really need your help. Is it possible for a woman to have her menstrual cycle without pains? I have been having pains during my period for as long as i can remember and it is now getting unbearable. Please advise me on what to do if it is actually possible to secure a solution to this problem.

Will be waiting!!!

ashaby, sorry for the menstrual pain, firstly what i think can cause this pain is too much sugar taking and possibly you have pile. I can only recommend maybe you use a menstrual pain relieve tablet (like Painkil) take Menstrogen tablet; it reduces menstrual pain and also avoid too much sugary food.

I was prescribed MEFANAMIC ACID at the hospital. This was when i passed out from the pain.

It works like a charm  Grin  It reduced the pain to a dull thud. For my other friend , after she took them she said she felt no pain whatsoeva. So it works differently for diferent people. It is really strong tho.

You can only get it on prescription.

Exercises and Hot water bottle helps a lot too.

It will get better with time.  Birth control pills helped me a lot.  Depending on what is causing your pain ( physical/emotional/stress or physiological).  Might want to go and get a thorough gyn exam to make sure you are not "sprouting" adhesions.

There a lot of medication that can help relieve the symptoms.  Check with your doctor to see which is best for you.
Goodluck!

   It's not a rare thing that some women experience dysmenorrhea (pain or discomfort during menstruations). But yet, most women experience normal bearable menstruation.
   However, if your period is so unbearably painful then, it could be a sign of an actual disease and therefore means you ought to see a Gynaecologist.
   Painful menstruation is usually caused by contractions which occur in the musculature of the uterus. These contractions take place when the body releases some potent hormone-like substance prostaglandins produced by the lining of the womb.
   My suggestion is: you really have to make a conforming manner of living a healthy physical lifestyle; ie be active with exercise, be having a enough sleep, love to drink enough water daily, minimise your stress: and if you feel the need, you may take pain killers. But if symptom persist, see a Doc at once: because, it's not normail in any sense for you to have such unbearable pain during menstruation period. So, a Doc should be able to help and carry out a pelvic examination to proact or react against any case that might cause this condition known as dysmenorrhea
   Laparoscopy or Ultrasound scan can help in detecting the cause and medicines which can minimise the production of prostaglandins and pain can be prescribed.
   Note: Your pain could as well be caused by some certain conditions like the disease that inflame the pelvic, or the presence of endometrium elsewhere than in the lining of the uterus.
   Oh, yawn, yawn, yawnnnnnnhhhhh!!!!!  So boring to be here, i prefere the TRAVEL section Cool
   Please, see a live Doctor, he'd be able to explain better.  Cheers! Smiley

@Poster,
gosh and I always thought I had it the worse. Thank God for birth control pills, Nothing else worked.  I had a laporascopy done some years aback and nothing was found, but the pain was unbearable, so my GYN placed me on those pills.  Finally I can be human during those 3 days every month, Amen,

Ibuprofen also helps.Brustan N is a good brand. But beware, some drugs have ibuprofen mixed with caffeine. I don't advise taking that except u want 2 stay awake and alert. I usually take ibuprofen(400mg) because my pain is unbearable and weakens me badly,sometimes i puke. 1 tab every six  to eight hours. Why take birth control pills, i have heard previously that women who take birth control pills cconsistently for a long time, find it difficult to get pregnant when they want to. I don't know how true this is but be careful

Sugar has absolutely nothing to do with it, I stayed of sugar and off carbs for a month…had my worse period that month….see a gynecologist,  I saw one…he recommended feldene not felvene o!, and cataflam and they went a long way to help…,  then pray also….with time it begins to ease actually. These days I hardly use drugs
Some 2 years  back…mine was really bad, I use to stool and throw up at d same time, rol on the floor, the whole house, whole hostel used to know when I was on, I used to take Intra venous injections….but thank God now it has eased up….at least its more bearable…
