Period pain, also known as dysmenorrhea, affects millions of women every month. For some, it’s a mild discomfort, but for others, it can be a debilitating pain that interferes with daily life. Unfortunately, menstrual pain is often normalized, leading many women to suffer in silence.
Understanding the Causes of Period Pain
Menstrual cramps occur when the uterus contracts to shed its lining. These contractions are triggered by prostaglandins – hormone-like substances involved in pain and inflammation. Higher levels of prostaglandins are linked to more intense cramps.
Other possible causes include:
- Endometriosis – when uterine tissue grows outside the uterus
- Fibroids – noncancerous growths in the uterus
- Adenomyosis – when uterine lining grows into the muscle wall
- Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)
Common Myths About Period Pain
- “Pain is just part of being a woman.” – While mild discomfort is common, severe pain isn’t normal and should be addressed.
- “Only medicines can help.” – There are effective drug-free options for pain relief.
- “It gets better with age.” – Period pain can persist or worsen if the root cause isn’t treated.
Science-Backed Ways to Relieve Period Pain
Modern healthcare offers several approaches to managing cramps without relying solely on medication:
- Heat therapy – Applying heat to the lower abdomen relaxes uterine muscles.
- Light exercise – Yoga, stretching, or walking can improve blood flow and ease pain.
- TENS therapy – Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation blocks pain signals and stimulates natural endorphin release.
- Dietary changes – Reducing caffeine and processed foods may help.
