What causes period pain?
The causes of period pain are often difficult to identify. The source of the pain is contractions that happen within the wall of the womb, which happens to help shed the womb lining when your period is occurring. However, it is unknown as to why some experience pain to a much greater extent than others.
Sometimes period pain can be caused by underlying health conditions such as endometriosis, fibroids, pelvic inflammatory disease, or adenomyosis. It can also be caused by contraceptive devices during the first few months after it has been fitted.
If you feel that your period pain is causing significant disruption to your life, do not hesitate to contact a healthcare professional for advice.
What can help to ease period pain?
There are some methods that can help to ease the discomfort that you experience during your period. Use heat, such as a hot water bottle or a warm bath, to help relax and ease pain, and try relaxation techniques such as yoga or pilates that may help to distract you from your discomfort. Gentle exercise can also help to ease your symptoms – try activities such as walking, cycling, or gentle swimming. If you are struggling with period pain, do not feel ashamed or hesitant to take pain relief medication.
