I have been experiencing irregular periods and severe menstrual pain for the last two to three months. What medications can I take to regulate my menstrual cycle and relieve the pain?

It is very common to experience occasional menstrual changes, and they are usually easily managed. For immediate relief from severe pain, over-the-counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen or naproxen are highly effective. To help regulate your cycle, a doctor may recommend hormonal options such as combined oral contraceptive pills or progestin therapy. Since hormonal treatments require a prescription and a proper evaluation to rule out common, highly treatable conditions like PCOS, I recommend consulting a gynaecologist. They can safely guide you toward the best treatment plan for your body.
