Swedish scientists from the Academy of Salgren at the University of Gothenburg argue that oral contraceptives can reduce pain in women during the menstrual cycle.

According to medical statistics, 50-70% of women experience pain at monthly mild intensities, 10% of women have very severe pain. In a study conducted by scientists among young women suffering from dysmenorrhea (pain in menstruation), there was a decrease in pain in the use of contraceptive oral contraceptives (birth control pills).

Women suffering from severe pain during menstruation, experts advise to see a doctor, to examine and identify the causes of pain, which can be symptoms of various diseases, for example, inflammatory processes, endometriosis, as well as oncology.
