There comes a time in every girl's childhood when she is transformed into a woman, and with that change she must deal with the problem of menstrual, or severe menstrual cramps. Dysmenorrhea, to give the problem its medical term, affects every woman every month to a varying degree.
The most important thing to note is that every woman suffers from dysmenorrhea, to give the problem its full medical term, in some shape or form. Lucky women believe that they get off lightly from the problem, feeling very little discomfort and a light amount of bleeding. Others have much more complicated periods, including heavy spotting and bleeding and incredibly debilitating cramps.
Likewise, the pain reported by women during their period differs wildly. Some consider it a dull, throbbing pain which is constantly affecting them during the day and making it difficult to relax or sit without awkward discomfort, while others find sharp, shooting or burning pains when it is their time of the month.
Also important to note is that pain from the menstrual cycle may not necessarily be based around the usual problematic areas. Many women have reported feeling menstrual cramping around their lower back, thighs or even the knees. If there is a need for a hot water bottle, it is likely to be related to that. Additionally, the pain can cause vomiting and vertigo in some women.
The first thing to know is that dysmenorrhea is completely normal and every woman suffers from some form of it. Many may not complain about it, but rest assured - it happens to them, no matter how light they feel it, and it is an entirely normal thing. Sadly, such pains are part and parcel of being a woman.
It is a common thing to happen to every women, sad to say. But there are some actions which can be taken to alleviate the pain and others which conversely can have the opposite effect of making cramping worse. Contraceptive choice is a major issue with period pains.
Copper inter uterine devices (IUDs) have been known to cause severe cramping for some women who are not used to this form of contraception. Those women who have changed from an alternative form of contraception to an IUD may find that they suffer more painful than normal menstrual pains for the first few months of usage. Sometimes these will pass; other times they will not. If they do not pass, it is best to try an alternative contraceptive method.
The contraceptive pill, for example, is widely regarded as a useful tool against cramping and heavy periods because it regulates the menstrual cycle and can temper any shooting or numbing pains caused in the course of that cycle.
Every woman's period cramps are different, and so it is incredibly difficult to discuss with other women the kind of pain and resultant emotional swings that are felt. If you feel your period pain is getting too much, do visit your general practitioner or physician immediately to discuss how to better manage the discomfort. While sadly this kind of annoyance has to be lived with in some form, it should not be impossible to deal with.
