Initial treatment is focused on relief of pain. Anti-inflammatory medications can be helpful. This includes over-the-counter (OTC) medications such as aspirin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil), and prescription medications. (Note: Long-term use of NSAIDs can lead to gastrointestinal bleeding.)
Oral contraceptives may be prescribed in severe cases for disorders such as endometriosis.
If menstrual pain results from pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), antibiotics will be prescribed.
but what i really think everyone should concentrate on here is the type of food we eat in other to reduce the pains and if possible eliminate it totally.
* Eliminate potential food allergens, including dairy, wheat (gluten), corn, soy, preservatives, and food additives. Your health care provider may want to test for food sensitivities.
* Eat calcium-rich foods, including beans, almonds, and dark green leafy vegetables (such as spinach and kale).
* Eat antioxidant foods, including fruits (such as blueberries, cherries, and tomatoes), and vegetables (such as squash and bell pepper).
* Avoid refined foods, such as white breads, pastas, and sugar.
* Eat fewer red meats and more lean meats, cold-water fish, tofu (soy, if no allergy), or beans for protein.
* Use healthy cooking oils, such as olive oil or vegetable oil.
* Drink soy milk for bone health and symptoms of menstrual pain.
* Reduce or eliminate trans-fatty acids, found in commercially baked goods such as cookies, crackers, cakes, French fries, onion rings, donuts, processed foods, and margarine.
* Avoid coffee and other stimulants, alcohol, and tobacco.
* Drink 6 - 8 glasses of filtered water daily.
* Exercise at least 30 minutes daily, 5 days a week.
