Dysmenorrhea: Add ibuprofen, 600 mg dose if your medical history will allow. Also, get an over the counter ant nausea medication. If this is a new discomfort for you get seen today otherwise see a doctor for other options soon.

Consider NSAID: NSAID’s, SSRI’s, hormone meds, OTC meds containing diuretics, warm bath, heating pad, exercise & acupuncture are excellent for dysmenorrhea. Avoid caffeine, chocolate, alcohol & salt. Get GYN eval to R/O underlying pathology. Consider omega- 3 fatty acids, magnesium (supplementation or through diet) or Black Cohosh with dr ok. Sipping Chamomile can dissipate pain.
