Dysmenorrhea is indeed not a pleasant experience. Some girls choose to take painkillers when their menstrual pain is unbearable, but they are afraid that frequent use of painkillers will lead to drug dependence. Let's analyze together whether it's good to take painkillers during menstruation? I have to say here that if dysmenorrhea is severe and frequent, it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination and treatment.
Taking some professional painkillers to treat dysmenorrhea can definitely have a certain relief effect, but it is still important to note that it is best not to rely on medication to relieve dysmenorrhea for a long time, as it can easily have adverse effects on the body. Choosing drugs that can inhibit prostaglandin synthase during dysmenorrhea, such as Fenbid and Xiaotongling, can fundamentally achieve therapeutic effects on dysmenorrhea. If taking anesthetic drugs, although the effect is obvious, it is easy to develop drug resistance and addiction.
Taking painkillers to relieve dysmenorrhea is generally suitable for severe or emergency situations. It is best not to take painkillers every time menstruation begins. Long term use of medication to relieve dysmenorrhea may lead to ineffective medication and the only option being to go to the hospital for injection treatment. And it may also cause adverse consequences such as neurological dysfunction, decreased memory, insomnia, etc. Taking painkillers during menstrual cramps only treats the symptoms without addressing the root cause.
Long term use of painkillers to treat dysmenorrhea can easily lead to dependence, which is not beneficial to human health. There are many reasons that can cause dysmenorrhea, which can be divided into primary dysmenorrhea and secondary dysmenorrhea. That is to say, you must figure out whether you have been experiencing dysmenorrhea since your first menstrual cycle or from a subsequent menstrual cycle. The treatment methods for dysmenorrhea caused by different reasons also vary, so it is necessary to determine the cause of dysmenorrhea through examination and then treat it accordingly. It is recommended that everyone should not blindly take painkillers to relieve menstrual pain. If not necessary, try to use them sparingly or not at all.
