Contraceptive agents reduce pain during menstruation

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.
