A member asked:
I have been taking advil (ibuprofen) every month for my dysmenorrhea and been taking it for almost 8 years now..does it affect my stomach?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It could.: Specially if you need it several days each month and not taking it with food. If your pain is increasing see your doctor. You may need a laparoscopy and not just pain medication.
