Health Queries

Severe pain during my menstrual cycle every month has become very difficult to manage, and it sometimes affects my daily routine. What could be the reason behind this, and how can I reduce the pain now?

Severe menstrual pain every month can happen due to strong uterine contractions during periods, which is common in many women, but when the pain becomes intense enough to disturb daily activities, it is important to look for underlying causes as well. Conditions like endometriosis, adenomyosis, fibroids, ovarian cysts, or pelvic infections can sometimes cause worsening period pain, especially if the discomfort has increased over time or is associated with heavy bleeding, back pain, nausea, or pain during intercourse. Simple measures like using a heating pad on the lower abdomen, staying physically active, gentle stretching, proper sleep, and reducing stress may help reduce cramps naturally. Some women also feel better by avoiding excess caffeine and very salty foods around their cycle. Pain-relieving medicines are commonly used, but they should ideally be taken under medical guidance, especially if symptoms are severe or recurring every month. Since the pain is affecting your routine, it would be a good idea to consult a gynaecologist for proper evaluation and possibly an ultrasound to identify the exact cause and guide treatment.
