Menstrual cramps (primary dysmenorrhea) are driven by elevated prostaglandins, causing uterine contractions, reduced blood flow, and inflammation—leading to abdominal and lower back pain.
Supportive, non-pharmacologic approaches may help:
🔴 Heat Therapy – Promotes relaxation
🔴 Stress Reduction – Helps regulate pain response
🔴 Herbal Support – Chamomile, ginger, cinnamon
🔴 Light Exercise – Boosts endorphins
🔴 Hydration – Reduces bloating
🔴 Magnesium – May reduce prostaglandins
🔴 Acupuncture – Supports circulation
Persistent or severe pain may indicate:
⚠️ Endometriosis
⚠️ Uterine fibroids
⚠️ Ovarian cysts
⚠️ Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)
