Every woman who experiences menstrual pain every month, and there are as many as 12% of these women, is looking for effective ways to alleviate the pain. This is because the pain is often so severe that it often makes it difficult or even impossible to function.<\/b> It is then impossible to concentrate on studies or work, or even on simple tasks. This is why women often resort to taking temporary painkillers, which, however, are not without their negative effects on the body, especially when taken in large quantities. It is therefore a good idea to look for alternative methods to combat menstrual pain.<\/b> And effective and safe methods are at hand. One natural alternative to painkillers are preparations made from hemp seed. We are talking about CBD oils, preparations with a wide range of beneficial properties. <\/span><\/p>\n

Menstrual pain - causes<\/b>
<\/p>\n

Painful menstruation is a problem for many women who are of childbearing age. Pain during menstruation can have various causes. When it occurs in young women, usually up to two years after the first bleeding (it is then called primary), it usually accompanies them until menopause. Although this is not the rule, it may subside or lessen somewhat even after childbirth. In contrast, for one in seven women, menstrual pain intensifies between the ages of 23 and 27.<\/span>

If menstrual pain has been triggered by medical conditions, it is of a so-called secondary nature. The cause can be, for example, endometriosis, uterine myomas, hypothyroidism or ovarian cysts.<\/p>\n

So, as you can see, there is no rule as to when or which woman will be affected by painful periods. And what is the most common, direct cause of the pain itself?<\/b> It is the overproduction of prostaglandins, which are a group of hormones produced under the influence of progesterone. These hormones cause exfoliation of the endometrium, resulting in painful contractions. In addition, too high levels of prostaglandins cause increased sensitivity to stimuli, and this can further intensify the painful sensations.<\/p>\n

CBD oil or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs? <\/b>
<\/p>\n

And like every month there comes that day when menstrual pain attacks and often becomes unbearable. Then the only option seems to be to take painkillers, many of which can be bought without a prescription. These not only have an analgesic effect, but also an anti-inflammatory and antipyretic effect.<\/span>

Their role is that they inhibit the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzyme. This enzyme comes in two types, COX-1 and COX-2, and both types are involved in the synthesis of prostaglandins, which in turn stimulate pain receptors. Taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs reduces the production levels of these enzymes, resulting in a decrease in pain levels. <\/span>This is why painkillers are effective in temporarily relieving menstrual cramps and therefore in temporarily relieving menstrual pain. <\/b><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
However, it is worth knowing that the COX-1 enzyme, whose production is inhibited after taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, is also involved in protecting the digestive system. Therefore, if painkillers are taken in large doses over a long period of time, negative effects can be expected not only on the gastrointestinal tract, but also on the body as a whole. <\/span><\/div>\n
