Dysmenorrhea is defined as uterine pain experienced during menstruation that is severe enough to limit activities of daily living or require medication. As such, it is not an acute process that will benefit from "First Aid".
If a patient has been diagnosed with dysmenorrhea, she will have been prescribed medication to manage the symptoms. She should take that medication in accordance with her doctor's instructions.
A patient who experiences severe abdominal pain around the time of her period, should not assume she is experiencing dysmenorrhea. Many women do experience discomfort during menstruation, but it can normally be managed with OTC (Over The Counter) medications like Acetameniphen (a.k.a. Tylenol), or ibuprofen (a.k.a. Advil or Motrin). Any abdominal pain that is undiagnosed, and is severe enough to break through OTC pain relievers, should be evaluated by a medical doctor.
Moreover, what's right for others may not be right for you. One thing that helps based on experience is that
- Regular timings for exercise, meals and bedtime - Make sure you get aerobic exercise, effective schedule would be about 30 minutes of exercise between 4 and 6 times each week.
- Get 8 hours of sleep
That should improve your well-being during menstruation.
