Drug and non-drug treatments for painful periods

        DRUG AND NON-DRUG TREATMENTS FOR PAINFUL PERIODS
In severe cases of primary dysmenorrhoea (painful periods) the pain can be stopped by suppressing ovulation. Drugs such as the contraceptive pill or NSAIDs with anti-prostaglandin activity may be useful.
Painkillers are widely used to deal with this pain and a variety of non-drug approaches may also help. Weekly acupuncture has been shown to ease painful periods in 90% of women, with a 41% reduction in the use of painkillers. This approach may be attractive to women who want to handle their menstrual pain without medication, either because it is no longer effective or because of unacceptable side-effects. There is also evidence that lifestyle changes such as stopping smoking can reduce menstrual pain. Women treated non-surgically for painful periods report increased physical activity levels a year after starting treatment, but the majority are negative about the prospect of continuing on with their nonsurgical efforts at pain relief.
