Abstract

Pain during menstrual cycle or periods is one of the most common health related problems being faced by girls today. It may be associated with other complaints or may be independent of other health related complaints. The problem of painful menstruation, which is medically known as Dysmenorrhea is estimated to occur in 20% to 90% of women of reproductive age particularly young school going girls. It is reported mostly by young girls in their late teens. The prevalence of dysmenorrhea in adolescent females has been reported to be 67.2% by one study and 90% by another. Girls with this problem mainly seek conventional treatment which includes prescription of antispasmodics containing atropine derivatives and analgesics containing paracetamol or phenacetin. Recent studies have shown the side effects of pain medications particularly on kidneys & liver. This has made the researchers to look out for safer form of therapies. Many researches have been conducted which have shown the efficacy of alternative therapies like herbal remedies, acupuncture etc. in the management of pain of dysmenorrhea and to improve their quality of life. The present work is based on the usefulness of yoga and naturopathy in the management of painful periods or dysmenorrhea.
