Menstrual Pain
Menstrual Pain
NORMAL MENSTRUATION IS PAINLESS! Although surprising for many women, it is the truth. Unless menstrual pain results from a specific issue (endometriosis, fibroids, etc.), known as secondary dysmenorrhea, pain is not normal.

While it's not normal to feel pain during the period, many women don't have any specific issues or pathology, experiencing menstrual pain ranging from cramps to diffuse lower back pain, migraines, breast tenderness, fatigue in the lower limbs, constipation, etc. These recurring symptoms, in many cases, are not associated with any pathology ("nothing shows up in the tests"). However, it is a fact that the menstrual period is a challenge for a significant percentage of women.
How Osteopathy Can Help
Osteopathy provides a holistic view of your health, based on the principle of considering the body as a whole. In the case of the female reproductive system, it is anatomically connected to musculoskeletal structures such as the lower back, sacrum, coccyx, etc. In most cases, by improving the interrelation of these structures with the reproductive system, it is possible to achieve total or significant relief from symptoms. Taking pain relievers before or during the menstrual period may temporarily alleviate symptoms but does not address the underlying cause. If you don't have a specific issue directly related to menstrual pain (or PMS), Osteopathy can play a crucial role in enhancing your health and relieving complaints.
