Painful Periods

Also known as dysmenorrhea, menstrual cramps, period pain, menstrual pain

Painful periods, medically known as dysmenorrhea, are caused by uterine contractions driven by prostaglandin release during menstruation, resulting in cramping, lower back pain, and sometimes nausea. Primary dysmenorrhea has no underlying pathology, while secondary dysmenorrhea may involve conditions like endometriosis or fibroids. Many women seek natural alternatives to NSAIDs due to concerns about long-term medication use, side effects, or inadequate relief from conventional treatments.
