If you’re like most women, you've experienced period pain at some point in your life. A little bit of mild cramping can be normal, especially at the beginning of your period. But ideally, you won’t even feel your period coming at all.
If you’re consistently having to pop painkillers like candy, or you’re in too much pain to go to work or school, then something deeper is going on. That type of period pain is not normal. In medicine, painful periods are called dysmenorrhea.
Your period is like a barometer of your overall health. It tells you how well your body is being nourished (or not), how much stress you've been under, and how much inflammation might be going on in your body.
It’s important to uncover the root causes of why your hormones are in turmoil so that you can find the least invasive, safest and most effective solution.
The great news is that women’s hormonal issues respond beautifully to natural medicine and, with a little detective work, you can troubleshoot your problems to get back on the road to wellness.
CAUSES OF MENSTRUAL PAINS
First, let’s explore the causes of menstrual pain
Menstrual cramps happen because of contractions in the uterus, or womb, which is a muscle. If it contracts too strongly during your menstrual cycle, it can press against nearby blood vessels. This briefly cuts off the supply of oxygen to the uterus. It’s this lack of oxygen causes your pain and cramping.
There are many things that lead to painful periods, but I’m going to focus on the most common reasons.
Keep in mind that the causes of your menstrual pain can be multifactorial, and often it is the total load of several imbalances that is responsible for causing symptoms.
A diet full of refined grains, sugar, and alcohol is almost guaranteed to make your periods miserable. Because of the ways these foods damage your cells, disrupt your hormones, and interfere with cell communication, these foods will send your immune system into a firestorm.
Grains can be problematic because they are broken down into sugar when we eat them. This might not be a problem if you have a very healthy metabolism. The more sugar and carbohydrates we eat, the more insulin our pancreas has to pump out. Excess insulin creates silent inflammation . High insulin also increases arachidonic acid
Many women crave sugar during the premenstrual phase because of hormone shifts and other factors. However, sugar can contribute to period pain by promoting inflammation and insulin resistance. Having insulin resistance means that your insulin levels are too high, and your cells are having a hard time using insulin to put glucose (sugar) into your cells. When you are insulin resistant, it means that your body cannot handle a sugary diet.
Alcohol is especially problematic for women with painful periods because it reduces the liver’s ability to detoxify estrogen and toxins. Did you know that having just 2 drinks per day can double the amount of estrogen in your body?
Having too much estrogen will also cause heavy periods, sore breasts, bloating, moodiness, and pretty much all of the things that we hate about periods in the first place! So nix the booze until you’ve made enough progress in your healing, okay?
Moving forward The other problem with an unhealthy diet is that eating junk food instead of healthy natural foods will create nutrient deficiencies. We especially need magnesium, zinc, vitamin B6, vitamin B2, iodine, folate and selenium for healthy periods.
