Answer: I would not suggest taking Birth Control pills because it can screw up your system even more. People says it helps...ya it helps while your on them but as soon a you get off depending how long you stay on BC for it can make your periods worse. I think it messes up your female reproductive system even more...as for the herbs that you took? what exactly were they that you took some herbs have blood thinners in them and you have to watch out for them, have you tried talking to a herbalist. remember some herbs take a while to kick in and start working wonders but they do work.

Question: Did you get dysmenorrhea when you had your period after giving birth? My lochia stopped one month ago and I assume my current bleeding is because of my monthly period. I used to get dysmenorrhea when I had my period before getting pregnant. For references, I gave birth Dec. 4 2008 and I am not breastfeeding.
Answer: All women are different, but my first period after I gave birth 7 months ago was extra heavy and painful. It also lasted close to 10 days. I called my doctor to be sure it was normal and she confirmed that it was. Your body needs to get use to regular ovulation and menstruation after the 9 month gap, so it can take a toll on the body. I made sure to stay hydrated and I continued taking my pre-natal vitamin with Iron to help keep my levels up.

Question: Is it normal that Dysmenorrhea/menstrual pains to be on and off before the actual period starts? Is it normal that Dysmenorrhea/menstrual pains to be on and off before the actual period starts
Answer: Yes, this is most likely due to ovulation and are the reason you have cramps before hand. That can be quite painful, as the egg is breaking through the ovary to go to the fallopian tube. I recommend taking over the counter meds like Advil or Pamprin. Avoid caffiene. Although OTC meds like Pamprin contain a small amount of caffiene, it is fine if you are trying to avoid it completely.
Question: Will birth control help ease my Dysmenorrhea? I always have Dysmenorrhea and I dont think it's ever gonna stop without treatment. What would a doctor prescribe for me?
And what are thoughts on using birth control for this kind of thing?
Answer: Drink green tea and white tea everyday to combat disorders and maintain best health.
Drink chamomile tea, passionflower tea and fennel tea before, during and after menstruation to prevent pain, strain, cramps, bloating, gas, painful menstruation, constipation and diarrhea.
Question: What's the best medicine for severe dysmenorrhea aside from pain killers? I usually lose consciousness during my first day if I couldn't take pain killers.

Please help...Thank you.
Answer: Hi Angelita, "dysmenorrhea" - menstrual cramps are dull or throbbing pains in the lower abdomen is very unpleasant condition but you need know that this often disappear after pregnancy.
During menstrual periods, your uterus contracts to help expel its lining. Prostaglandins, hormone-like substances involved in pain and inflammation, trigger the uterine muscle contractions. No one knows for sure, but many experts believe that prostaglandins are the direct cause of primary dysmenorrhea.
Some women find relief through massage, yoga or meditation, all stress-relieving activities that may help to lessen pain and aren't likely to harm you. Some women find acupuncture helpful for pain relief.
Also Gingerroot tea can relieve menstrual cramps. Simmer handful gingerroot, cut in slices for 15 minutes. Let it cool to drink later.
Calcium helps to prevent menstrual cramps as it maintains the normal muscle tone.
Magnesium increases body's calcium absorption capacity, therefore reducing menstrual cramps. Foods that possess properties are beans, whole grains such as buckwheat and whole wheat flour, salmon, shrimp, tofu, vegetables and nuts.
Cramp bark (Viburnum opulus) is one of the most ancient and useful herbs used to treat menstrual cramps. It helps in easing severe cramps that causes nausea, vomiting and sweaty chills.
But your doctor for my glance has assigned very efficient treatment.
