Ibuprofen and Dysmenorrhea: Any Side Efeefts?

 

 

 

Women can take ibuprofen when dysmenorrhea occurs, which belongs to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. It has good analgesic effects for some pain caused by dysmenorrhea, or some soft tissue injuries, such as acute lumbar muscle strain, pain caused by muscle strain, as well as colds, headaches, and toothache.

 

 Patients with dysmenorrhea can also take ibuprofen orally to relieve the pain symptoms caused by dysmenorrhea. Under the doctor's guidance, small doses of ibuprofen can ease pain in just a few minutes. After a few hours, it can be completely metabolized in the body without increasing the burden on organs. Generally, the drug is administered once every 4-6 hours, with a dose of 400~600 mg.

 

In addition to ibuprofen, oral contraceptives can also be used to inhibit prostaglandin synthesis and relieve dysmenorrhea symptoms. Proper supplements of vitamin B6 can reduce the tension of uterine smooth muscle and relieve dysmenorrhea.

 

However, there are many causes and lesions of dysmenorrhea. If dysmenorrhea has been diagnosed, ibuprofen can be taken orally. If gynecological diseases cause dysmenorrhea, it is recommended to intervene in the department of gynecology for the cause and focus of dysmenorrhea rather than using painkillers for symptomatic treatment.

 

 

When menstruation comes, the body will secrete too many prostaglandins. The role of prostaglandins is to promote the contraction of uterine smooth muscle, causing vasospasm, thus causing dysmenorrhea. Ibuprofen inhibits the synthesis of prostaglandins in the hypothalamus, hinders the production of prostaglandins, and therefore reduces dysmenorrhea.

 

There is not enough data to prove whether ibuprofen can cause a reduction in menstruation. There are many reasons for less menstruation, such as heavy pressure, destructive emotions, heavy physical labor, overwork, dieting, and weight loss. The specific reasons need to be found.

 

 

The longer the drug is used, the more adverse reactions occur; ibuprofen is no exception. The duration of medication should be limited to 5 days for pain relief and 3 days for fever relief.

 

Ibuprofen is easy to cause gastrointestinal discomforts, such as nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain, and it is easy to generate a gastric ulcer or duodenal ulcer after long-term use. Some people may have blurred vision, headache, dizziness, tinnitus, rash, and lethargy, but most of the side effects can be tolerated.

 

 

There are two kinds of dysmenorrhea. One is primary dysmenorrhea. That is, pain without any cause can be relieved by taking painkillers. The second is secondary dysmenorrhea, common in adenomyosis, endometriosis, hysteromyoma, etc. And women must be actively treated to alleviate the primary disease. The traditional Chinese medicine Fuyan Pill can be a good treatment choice. It can relieve patients' dysmenorrhea and other symptoms and will not bring harmful effects to the body.

 

At the same time, women should keep a good life schedule, eat more warm food, and avoid cold and raw food, especially during the menstrual period. Do moderate exercise and choose moderate aerobic exercise, such as cycling, walking, or practicing yoga.
