J Manipulative Physiol Ther 1992; 15(5):279 / Medline ID: 92308764 Of the eleven participants 24.6% demonstrated a vertebral displacement at the first lumbar segment, 45.5% showed a second lumbar misalignment, 54.6% a third lumbar, 63.7% a fourth lumbar, and 63.7% had a fifth lumbar subluxation. Of the eight subjects that received manipulative therapy 88% had a dimunition in severity of symptomatology as determined by the grade of disability and pain. Conclusions suggest that in primary dysmenorrhea. Spinal manipulative therapy should be seriously considered as an alternative conservative treatment.

Extractions: Contributing risk factors Other conditions that may be present Recommendations Dysmenorrhea is the medical term for painful periods or menstrual cramps. The majority of women are thought to experience some degree of dysmenorrhea. Dysmenorrhea is either primary or secondary. In cases of primary dysmenorrhea, no disease or other medical cause can be found for the pain and other symptoms, which may include backache, diarrhea , dizziness, headache, nausea , vomiting, and a feeling of tenseness. Primary dysmenorrhea frequently affects women in their teens and early 20s, who have never had a baby. The symptoms are caused by prostaglandin , a natural hormone produced by cells in the uterine lining. The level of prostaglandin increases in the second half of the menstrual cycle. When a womans period begins, the cells in the uterine lining release prostaglandin as they are shed. Women with severe primary dysmenorrhea have significantly higher prostaglandin levels in their menstrual fluid than do other women. Usually the symptoms do not last very long - one or two days, but rarely longer.

Extractions: Homeopathic Remedies for Dysmenorrhea (Painful Menstruation) Also indexed as: Menstruation (Painful) What Is Homeopathy? Belladonna: Symptoms that are very intense and come and go suddenly, accompanied by a feeling of heat, often indicate a need for this remedy. The menstrual flow is typically bright red, profuse, and may have begun too early. Pain and cramping are worse from jarring and from touch, yet applying steady pressure often brings relief. Walking or bending over can make things worse, and sitting may be the most tolerable position. A woman who needs this remedy may feel restless and flushed, with pulsing or pounding sensations, and eyes that are sensitive to light. Bovista: Women needing this remedy tend to have problems with puffiness and edema during times of menstrual stress, and can feel very awkward and clumsy. Pain may be felt in the pelvic region, often with soreness near the pubic bone. Menstrual flow increases at night (and may even be absent during the day). Diarrhea occurring at the time of the menstrual period is a strong indication for this remedy. Caulophyllum: Women with a history of weak uterine tone and irregular periods may find some relief in this remedy. Intense discomfort during periods, with drawing pains in the thighs and legs as well as the pelvic area, are strong indications. The woman may experience a heavy flow of blood or other discharge. Stiffness or arthritis, especially in the finger-joints, may be seen in a person who needs this remedy.

Abnormal Uterine Bleeding Primary Dysmenorrhea (Functional Dysmenorrhea) Cyclic pain associated with ovulatory cycles without demonstrable lesions affecting reproductive structures. The pain is thought to result from uterine contractions and ischemia, probably mediated by prostaglandins produced in secretory endometrium; therefore, primary dysmenorrhea is almost always associated with ovulatory cycles. Contributing factors may include the passage of tissue through the cervix, a narrow cervical os, malposition of the uterus, lack of exercise, and anxiety about menses. This common disorder usually starts during adolescence and tends to decrease with age and after pregnancy. Symptoms and Signs Low abdominal pain is usually crampy or colicky but may be a dull constant ache and radiate to the lower back or legs. The pain may start before or with menses, tends to peak after 24 h, and usually subsides after 2 days. Sometimes endometrial casts (membranous dysmenorrhea) or clots are expelled. Headache, nausea, constipation or diarrhea, and urinary frequency are common; vomiting occurs occasionally. PMS symptoms (see above ) may persist during part or all of the menses.

Abnormal Uterine Bleeding Secondary Dysmenorrhea (Acquired Dysmenorrhea) Pain with menses caused by demonstrable pathology. Endometriosis is a common cause of dysmenorrhea; adenomyosis may also cause it. A few women have an extremely tight cervical os (secondary to conization, cryocautery, or thermocautery); pain occurs when the uterus attempts to expel tissue through the os. A pedunculated submucosal fibroid or an endometrial polyp extruding from the uterus occasionally causes cramping pain. Pelvic inflammatory disease may cause diffuse continuous low abdominal pain that tends to increase with menses. Sometimes, a cause cannot be found. Treatment The first line of treatment is medical (eg, prostaglandin synthetase inhibitors, oral contraceptives, danazol, progestins). For management of endometriosis, see Ch. 239.

Extractions: Are there any alternative treatments? What are menstrual cramps? For decades, the medical establishment thought of menstrual cramps as an ailment that was minor at best. Doctors tended to deal with it by either dismissing the pain as a psychological problem or prescribing painkillers or tranquilizers. Today researchers have come a long way toward a fuller understanding of menstrual cramps and the pain they cause some 30 to 60 percent of women each month. Are there different types of menstrual cramps? Most women who have cramps are experiencing what's known as dysmenorrhea. Most often this condition is classified as primary dysmenorrhea, meaning that it isn't caused by a physical abnormality of the reproductive organs. This type of dysmenorrhea usually takes the form of sharp, spasmodic pains in your lower abdomen at the beginning of your period, or a day or two earlier, and it lasts two to three days. The condition is most common among young women in their teens and twenties; it usually moderates with age and may disappear if you give birth. According to some estimates, as many as 10 percent of young women have such severe cramps of this type that they're unable to maintain their normal schedules one or two days per month. In some women the cramping is so painful that they can't walk, and a few have compared it to the contractions of childbirth.

Extractions: Ease the Discomfort of Dysmenorrhea Over half the women of reproductive age experience some cramping and abdominal discomfort prior or during the first 2 days of their period. In the majority of cases this is not an abnormality, and is therefore labeled primary dysmenorrhea. Secondary dysmenorrhea can be caused by endometriosis, pelvic infections and the use of intrauterine devices. Primary dysmenorrhea is usually associated with exaggerated uterine contractions. High levels of prostaglandins in the body stimulate uterine contractility and have been found in women with painful menses. Prostaglandin's have a short life span and are synthesized just prior to their release. These symptoms generally peak shortly thereafter and are usually gone be the second day. The pain is spasmodic and centers in the lower abdomen and radiates to the back and possibly the upper thighs. For most women, the symptoms are mild to moderate and do not interfere with daily activities. NSAIDs should not be used before consulting a doctor. They are contraindicated in those with a history of peptic ulcers or GI bleeds, allergies to NSAIDs, or those who use blood thinners or medications like corticosteroids. Medications should be taken at the first signs of symptoms. NSAIDs should be taken with food to reduce stomach irritation. Acetaminophen can also provide relief due to its analgesic properties. It is a reasonable choice for those who cannot tolerate NSAIDs and for those suffering only mild discomfort. If these drugs have been tried and have not provided adequate relief, see your physician for further assessment. For a recommendation on a product speak to your local Save on Foods pharmacist today.

Extractions: Dysmenorrhea, or painful menses, is one of the most common gynecological complaints in young women, thought to affect 50% of all menstruating women. Ten percent of women have severe enough symptoms to necessitate missing work, school or other responsibilities. Peak incidence is between 20 and 24 years of age. Treatment methods include medications for pain and oral contraceptive pills to regulate the menstrual cycle. Nutritional and lifestyle medications play an important role, as well. Several complementary and alternative therapies have been utilized in the management of the discomfort of dysmenorrhea, although there are few or no studies to support their effectiveness or safety. Surgery is required only when the dysmenorrhea is found to be secondary to an underlying cause.

During normal menstruation women lose about 1 1/2 ounces (60 ml) of blood or less. If bleeding is significantly heavier, it is called menorrhagia , which occurs in 9% to 14% of all women and can be caused by a number of factors. Women often over estimate the amount of blood lost during their periods. However, women should consult their physician if one or both of the following occurs:
