Best Doctors for Dysmenorrhea Treatment in Kurnool

Dysmenorrhea is the pain of menstrual cramps that affects women simply before or during their periods. This disease can be categorized into two types. First is primary dysmenorrhea, which is common and usually starts in adolescence, provoked by natural chemicals called prostaglandins, which cause the uterus to contract. These contractions will eventually shed the lining of the uterine but they can produce cramping and discomfort. Secondary dysmenorrhea is induced by an underlying medical condition including endometriosis, fibroids, or infection, and occurs at a more older age. This condition may present with aching or cramping pain in the lower abdomen. It could also radiate to the lower back and thighs. Common symptoms include nausea, tiredness, diarrhea, and headaches. Treatment depends on the cause. Often mild or moderate cramping can be managed using over the counter medications like ibuprofen. More severe conditions should be addressed by a doctor who may prescribe stronger prescription pain management drugs or hormonal birth control that might ease the cramping. In secondary dysmenorrhea, the underlying condition also must be treated.
