More Information
What is period pain?
Period pain, also known as dysmenorrhea, refers to the cramping and discomfort experienced in the lower abdomen before or during menstruation. It can range from mild to severe and may be accompanied by other symptoms such as back pain, nausea, and headaches. Period pain is a common experience for many women and typically begins in adolescence.
Can you cure period pain?
While period pain cannot be completely cured, it can be effectively managed and alleviated with various treatments. The severity and underlying causes of period pain vary, so it's important to find a treatment plan that works best for the individual. Lifestyle changes, medications, and other therapies can help reduce the intensity and frequency of pain.
Are there any natural ways to treat period pain?
Yes, there are natural ways to help manage period pain. Regular physical activity, a healthy diet, and adequate hydration can all contribute to reducing symptoms. Applying heat to the lower abdomen, practising relaxation techniques, and using herbal remedies like ginger or chamomile tea may also provide relief. It is important to note that you should always consult with your doctor to ensure that natural treatments are safe and suitable for your condition.
What is period pain treatment?
Period pain treatment typically involves a combination of self-care measures, over-the-counter pain relievers, and sometimes prescription medications. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are commonly used to reduce pain and inflammation. In more severe cases, hormonal treatments such as birth control pills may be prescribed to help regulate or reduce menstrual pain.
What forms do period pain treatments come in?
Period pain treatments come in various forms, including oral medications, topical applications, and lifestyle interventions. Oral medications such as pain relievers and hormonal treatments are widely used. Topical treatments like heat patches or creams can provide localised relief. Additionally, lifestyle interventions, including exercise and dietary changes, play a crucial role in managing symptoms.
Do you need a prescription for period pain medications?
Some period pain medications are available over the counter, but others may require a prescription, especially for more severe or persistent pain. You should always consult with your doctor or healthcare provider for advice on whether a medication is suitable for you. Please note that at EU Meds, all requests for the supply of prescription medications are subject to an online clinical consultation and the decision to prescribe will be made by a doctor.

out of 5 on I have to give Customer Service a shoutout. Unusually my parcel didn’t arrive in the 1 or 2 days. This was an issue with Yodel and unfortunately it landed during the Easter holiday. However, as soon as Customer Services were back in the office they got in touch with Yodel and my parcel was delivered the next day. I have to say that I normally get a great service from Yodel as well.
