The period of menstruation in some women is accompanied by complaints of severe pain (dysmenorrhea) or heavy bleeding (menorrhagia). Unpleasant sensations greatly worsen the quality of life and disrupt the daily rhythm, and every month. How can homeopathic remedies relieve symptoms? Painful menstruation (dysmenorrhoea) Dysmenorrhoea can occur as early as the early teenage years, but it could also appear years after the start of the menstrual cycle in a woman who has not had any complaints up to that point. In some cases, after childbirth, the symptoms decrease in strength or disappear completely. Painful cramps in the lower abdomen, which are usually stronger at the beginning of the monthly cycle, can be accompanied by general malaise, headache, nausea and digestive problems. The condition can be due to many reasons: endometriosis (uterine tissue that develops outside the uterus), other malformations, uterine fibroids or polyps, inflammatory processes, hormonal or psychoemotional disorders, the presence of a contraceptive coil, etc. Heavy menstruation (menorrhagia) Menorrhagia is bleeding lasting more than a week that is so heavy that it requires a change of sanitary napkin or tampon every hour or two, and may be accompanied by large clots. For a large part of those affected, the causes are due to hormonal imbalance or uterine formations such as fibroids, cervical polyps, ovarian cysts, again the use of contraceptive spirals, etc. Taking certain anticoagulant medications can also cause heavy and prolonged bleeding. In all cases of menstrual complaints, it is important to have a gynecological examination to determine whether there is a problem that requires specific medical treatment.
