There are many kinds of painkillers during menstruation, such as ibuprofen, Pernixen, diclofenac potassium, etc. These can be used to relieve pain during menstruation, and the Chinese medicine Yuan Hu painkiller tablets and so on are also available. But you can’t just take painkillers during menstruation because you have to check whether it is primary or secondary dysmenorrhea. If it is primary dysmenorrhea, taking these painkillers will be effective; however, if it is secondary dysmenorrhea, such as endometriosis or adenomyoma, taking painkillers can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. If the primary lesion is removed, the pain during menstruation will be relieved on its own, so there is no need to use pain medication.
