Menstruation, Cramps and Solutions

That time of the month’, as we all generally hear it, is one of the most difficult things women handle each month. Periods happen because of the release of hormones from the pituitary gland present in our brain and these hormones create an egg at the same time lining of the uterus (womb) starts getting thicker but if the egg is not fertilized, the uterus lining starts breaking and blood and tissues get released. This breakage causes contraction of the womb, which at times becomes painful, converting menstruation into dysmenorrhea. Dysmenorrhea is a condition of menstruation involving pain and discomfort. Nearly 80% of women experience it and 5% to 10% of them experience it up to a severe extent. In most cases, it is also observed that if a mother goes through it, the daughter suffers from it.

Another term related to this science is PMS-premenstrual syndrome. Physical and emotional changes that women go through one or two weeks before their periods are called PMS. Basically, when the womb is about to shack its lining, we feel cramps in the lower abdomen and that causes irritation and mood swings. Some women also feel back pain and thigh pain. Location and intensity of pain vary from woman to woman but mild pain and irritation are common. Some women feel nausea and end up puking. This is usually observed among young or teenage girls.

Women in the mid-twenties or later experience heavy bleeding and pain during periods. However, on an average a women loses about a cup of blood every cycle. The rest of it is mucus and uterus lining. Acne, tender breasts, mood changes, and clots are a part of the menstrual cycle. At times, blood thinning doesn’t take place so clots are released. Again this is also normal and there is nothing to stress about except, the infections.

Pelvic infection or pelvic inflammatory disease occurs when a women’s reproductive organs are affected by sexually transmitted infections. Its symptoms are quite similar to menstruation and hence it is often neglected. This worsens the situation so visit your doctor if the pain in belly or pelvic area or bleeding is of high intensity.

Being safe is better than being sorry.
