Do you think men have Cyclical Non-Uterine Dysmenorrhea?
I do my husband gets in these moods,and complains of belly pain.And he wants to eat tons of chocolate,and chips.
----------
Well, I hope it's non-uterine! You may have heard of sympathetic pregnancies, where men get a bloated belly in a kind of harmony with their pregnant wives. That ends up being just gas, which is probably the source of his belly pain. So perhaps he is experiencing "Sympathetic Cyclical (Non-uterine) Dysmenorrhea". (

what are the best exercise to relieve dysmenorrhea?
Actually, you may find that taking Motrin (Ibuprofen), using a heating pad, or resting may provide you more comfort than exercise. If the pain lasts more than a day or two each month or is unbearable, see an OB/GYN and describe your pain to them, and they might give you a better program of relief. (

Dysmenorrhea or normal period pain?
I have had my period for 5 years now. During the past 3 years (maybe further) I have been getting some severe pain during my period. PMS beforehand and during the first day or two, and once it starts its really bad cramping, to the point where I dont want to move or stand up. I get dizzy and nauscous, and I have muscle soreness from the middle of my back to my knees. Headaches come faster and easier. Could it be dysmenorrhea? I dont have sex, but I dont think I want to go on the pill or patch or anything. My period is only 4 days long, and Im scared going on the pill will make it last all 7 placebo days. OTC meds dont help much at all, I take perscription doses of ibuprofen just to deal with it. I hate it. Could it be dysmenorrhea? If or if not, what are some ways to help remedy the pain?
----------
It sounds like dysmenorrhea. Have a talk with your gyno, please, because you should not have to suffer this way. (

is it possible to have period with dysmenorrhea during pregnacy?
plss pls help me ASAP
----------
According to medical professionals it's not. They still debate on what causes dysmenorrhea. I don't see how your body could hold the baby. My pregnancy ended my dysmenorrhea (pregnancy is heaven after you are over morning sickness) but before that I did quite a bit of research because I hated hurting every month. They have done a lot of studies. In one study they found that some girls get contractions/cramps that are more powerful than those a woman normally gets in labor. My family tends to fall in this catagory. I haven't experienced labor yet but according to my cousins who dealt with the same thing before getting pregnant labor was not near what their monthly cramps were. Labor is meant to push the baby out, if it's more powerful than labor I don't see how the baby wouldn't get expelled with everything else.
On another note, I believe that anything is possible. There are things that happen everyday that defy what makes logical sense. I wish you the best of luck. (

Painkiller for dysmenorrhea that isn't an NSAID?
I can't use NSAIDs (long story.) What other legal and prescribed/over the counter painkillers could I take for severe dymenorrhea? This rules out ibuprofen in any form, as well as paracetamol/tylenol.
Checked for Endometriosis - all clear - just some killer cramps :(
----------
FIRST, check the real cause of your dysmenorrhea and choose the adequate treatment (could be endometriosis?!); SECOND, try some effective home remedies - discover ALL below (

Dysmenorrhea: aspirin or acetaminophen? More effective?
I've been taking Midol Maximum Strength (active ingredient: acetaminophen) and it doesn't seem to be helping much. Should I try aspirin or ibuprofen instead? I need something which will inhibit the prostaglandins. I have terrible periods--fainting, labor-like contractions, vomiting, etc. Please help.
----------
aspirin promotes bleeding; motrin (Ibuprofen) will relax your muscles, possibly stopping the cramping. Cramps are actually contractions in a way, it is your uterus contracting. I would see your doctor if this is a regular occurance, many birth control pills are very useful in regulating periods and decreasing side effects of periods.
good luck, hope you feel better (

Help with Primary dysmenorrhea ?

The Naturopathic Alternative
Diet has always been the mainstay of healing within the naturopathic world. Addressing the consumption of foods most likely to aggravate existing conditions is the basis of optimal healing. In the case of menstrual cramps, eliminating foods high in arachidonic acid is the key to dealing with cramping. This fat produces a type of prostaglandin (specifically PGE2) that increases inflammation within the body. Dairy products, beef, pork, chicken, and turkey are all high in arachidonic acid. While decreasing PGE2 production, increasing healing prostaglandins will help. PGE1 and PGE3 are anti-inflammatory and anti-spasmodic. These are found in fish such as salmon, tuna, and sardines. Many nuts and seeds such as flaxseeds and pumpkin seeds can help in the production of the “good” prostaglandins.
Specific nutrients have also been shown to help in relieving menstrual cramps. Vitamin B3 (niacin) has been proven to help ease pain in 87.5 percent of women involved in one study. Women were given 100 mg of niacin twice a day for one month and then every few hours during menstruation. The mechanism of action is believed to increase blood flow to the uterus thereby relieving the pain. (Please note that the study used niacin and not niacinamide; therefore, one may experience the “niacin flush” when using high doses of vitamin B3.) Adding vitamin C and rutin (a bioflavanoid) each day seemed to increase the effectiveness of the niacin in relieving cramping.

do psychological factors cause dysmenorrhea ( painful menstruation for women) ?
Absolutely. I have seen many women who have inner issues about their sexuality, fertility, sexual abuse history, guilt, insecurity etc. whose dysmenorrhea resolves after dealing with their issues. Usually it is not conciously recognized, but anything in our psyche will affect our bodies, especially if we have hatred or saddness that centers around our sexual/reproductive organs. For example a woman whose birth I attended had horrible periods with no explanation for years before her pregnancy. While she was pregnant it came up that she had been sexually abused as a child, then was permiscuous as a tennager, had an abortion etc. She was able to heal these traumas after her beautiful birth experience and when her periods resumed, they were light, normal, and without pain. This is just one example but it demonstates the mind-body connection. (

How can I avoid dysmenorrhea?
Simply you have to change your diet; I personally do this and it´s worked for me, I have a better life when my period comes.
1.- Take two full spoons of flaxseed with a large glass of water first thing in the mornning after breakfast. It has lignans and omega 3 that help us with cramps and swelling.
2.- Try to have fruist as breakfast mangos and babanas are great for our bodies and help us with the period. Also eat fruit at the mornning or with an empty stomach, otherwise fruit decomposes in your stomach and doens´t give you the help it could.
3.-Eat at least two fruits and 5 vegetables a day, eat healthier!
4.- Avoid meat; all meat this means ham and sausages all red meat.
5.- No chunk food, no flour with sugar like cakes and cookies.
6.- Take soy, you can have soy milk or anything you want with soy, but be sure to take it. Also eat tofu it has progesterone that will help you lots.
7.- Make exercise I personally jog walk or run or climb and make come pilates but that´s pretty much it. I do it like 4 or 5 times a wekk for 40 minutes.
Do this just for a month give it a try you´ll se the difference, you´ll lose pounds you´ll see you have a better digestion, and your stomach will be better also your period.
The way your period comes depends on th way you eat.
Good luck! ;D (
