Severe Menstrual Pain : What You Need to Know
Do you experience extreme pain when you start to menstruate?
Ms A: To me, menstrual pain is a nightmare. I’m in immense pain because of a lower abdominal spasm that is constantly “squeezing” me.
Painkillers are literally my lifesaver, at least for the time being. I just want to lie around all day and do nothing. I’ll have mood swings and significant tiredness, which will make me unproductive at work.
I constantly worry and stress about the unknown pain level that’s coming. I can’t enjoy my favourite food. “I’m really frustrated with this situation.”
If the above statement sounds familiar, you are most likely one of the victims!
Menstrual pain has a huge impact on women’s quality of life, preventing them from being more efficient and productive at work, paying full attention in class, can’t enjoy fun or travels without worrying about the dreadful cramps, and causing them to struggle.
If you would like to withdraw from medication or are looking for an alternative way to relieve your menstrual pain, keep reading.
