A member asked:
Is it true that you should avoid milk or dairy to prevent dysmenorrhea?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Dysmenorrhea is due to hormonal changes, and to my knowledge, there isn't a connection between milk and hormones. The best treatment for dysmenorrhea is a NSAID like Ibuprofen at therapeutic dose of 600mg every 6-8 hours. Another option is continuous birth control, like seasonale or seasonique or their generic equivalent. Exercise can help. Talk to your doctor about options.
