Naprogesic - Period Pain Symptoms
There are many symptoms of period pain. Again, women may experience different symptoms or none at all. Period pain also varies in severity, with some women experiencing light or moderate period pain and some suffering from very acute pain.
The main symptom that we experience during a period is a cramping or discomfort in the lower abdomen. Other symptoms that you may experience include:
- A dull ache in your lower back
- Headache
- Nausea
- Loose bowel movements or diarrhoea
- Discomfort in the inner part or front of the thighs
- Vomiting
- Loss of appetite
- Weakness
- Dizziness
- Flushing
- Sleeplessness
- General aching
- Irritability
- Nervousness
You may just feel plain miserable – You might be snappy, tearful or frustrated. Just one of the symptoms can make you uncomfortable and disrupt your entire day.
Period pain can be felt a day before the bleeding starts and in some women it may last up to 2-3 days, but each period may give different symptoms.
Period pain can tend to be less severe as one gets older or after having a baby. Taking Naprogesic the day before your period will help stop the pain from occurring.
About 10 -15% of women suffer from period pain and have symptoms that are severe enough to interfere with their normal activities.
You should consult your healthcare professional if your period is more painful than usual, persistently severe, if you feel pelvic pain with bowel movements, or if you bleed in-between periods. These could be symptoms of any number of conditions, some of which may require urgent attention.
