Dysmenorrhea, or painful menstruation, is defined as cramping in the lower abdomen before or during menstruation. Usually the pain is mild. But for some women, menstrual cramps can be so severe that they interfere with daily activities for several days a month. The painful cycle is caused by hormone-like substances called prostaglandins, which are produced in the lining of the uterus. They cause the muscles and blood vessels of the uterus to contract during menstruation. In the first two days of menstruation, the level of prostaglandins is the highest and then the pain is the strongest. In the following days, their level decreases, and so does the pain, as the bleeding continues and the lining of the uterus is shed. In some women, severe menstrual pain is accompanied by other symptoms - diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, headache and dizziness, which are also typical side effects of prostaglandins. Menstrual pain can be classified as: Primary dysmenorrhea - painful menstruation that is not related to any pelvic disease. Primary dysmenorrhea begins soon after girls start menstruating. For many women with primary dysmenorrhea, periods become less painful as they age. This type of menstrual pain also usually subsides after childbirth. Secondary dysmenorrhea – pain during menstruation that is caused by some disease, e.g. endometriosis, fibroids, ovarian cysts, pelvic inflammatory disease, etc. The standard approach to treating dysmenorrhea includes nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and hormonal contraception, both of which help suppress the production of prostaglandins and thus reduce pain. Patients who do not tolerate, have contraindications for taking NSAIDs or wish to avoid them, can try to replace them with an herbal antispasmodic and inflammatory modulator. Nutrients and plant extracts with a role in menstrual pain relief Magnesium – studies with magnesium have found a reduction in menstrual pain and a decrease in prostaglandins in the blood. When combined with vitamin B6, it can also relieve menstrual cramps. Vitamin B6 - on the one hand, it increases the levels of serotonin and dopamine and improves the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome, and on the other hand, it plays an essential role in the synthesis of prostaglandins and fatty acids. Viburnum lantana (viburnum) - the compounds scopoletin and viopudial are responsible for the uterine relaxant activity. V. lantana extracts exhibit high antioxidant activity. Because of its relaxing and antispasmodic properties to the uterus, the bark is used as a traditional remedy to reduce menstrual pain and the volume of menstrual fluid associated with uterine contractions. Foeniculum vulgare (slice) – contains anethole, which helps relieve menstrual cramps. In 2015, a study found that the slice was more effective than mefenamic acid in relieving menstrual pain after a two-day intervention in 105 women suffering from primary dysmenorrhea. Pinus pinaster (sea pine, titrated to proanthocyanidins) - Helps reduce pain. A multicenter study published in the Journal of Reproductive Medicine found that women with dysmenorrhea who took maritime pine bark extract experienced less pain and needed less pain medication during menstruation. Tanacetum parthenium (Tanaceum, titrated to parthenolide) - Possesses antispasmodic activity by inhibiting the influx of extracellular calcium into vascular smooth muscle cells. Inhibitor of prostaglandin synthesis and a traditional herbal medicinal product for migraine headache prevention. Alpha-lipoic acid - has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity and suppresses the synthesis of prostaglandin E2. In a comparative study with mefenamic acid for severe menstrual pain, 600 mg of alpha-lipoic acid was shown to be more effective than 250 mg of mefenamic acid, as well as the combination of the two.
