Review On Counter-Irritant Activity of Lemongrass in Dysmenorrhea Pain

Abstract

Dysmenorrhea is a common gynecologic condition that impairs many women's quality of life and is characterized by painful menstruation. This article examines dysmenorrhea diagnosis and treatment, highlighting the importance of the interprofessional team. The word refers to two kinds: primary, which have nothing to do with underlying pathology, and secondary, which are connected to a specific disorder. Age, smoking, attempts to control weight, anxiety, depression, and a family history of dysmenorrhea are risk factors. There are psychological, biochemical, and physical components to the etiology, and prostaglandins are essential to uterine contractions. The symptoms of primary dysmenorrhea, which can be both physical and psychological, have a detrimental effect on quality of life. Numerous diseases, including endometriosis, fibroids, and pelvic inflammatory disease, can result in secondary dysmenorrhea. A complete medical history, a physical examination, and, if required, imaging is all part of the diagnosis process imaging methods. The goal of primary dysmenorrhea treatment is to enhance the patient's quality of life; non-pharmacological treatments such as heat application and exercise, as well as hormonal contraceptives and NSAIDs, may be used. While non-pharmacological treatments like heating pads and exercise can help, there is little proof to support acupuncture, herbal remedies, and some supplements. TENS, or transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, is a potentially useful non-invasive treatment. Surgical procedures like as hysterectomy or laparoscopic uterosacral nerve ablation (LUNA) may be explored in extreme situations. The page also covers Ayurvedic natural herbal remedies like Shatavari, Lodhra, Ashoka, and Udumbar. Traditionally, these herbs have been used to relieve menstruation discomfort and symptoms associated with it. Understanding the different kinds, risk factors, etiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment options of dysmenorrhea is essential to a complete approach to the condition. The interprofessional team is essential to the management of dysmenorrhea and the enhancement of the general health of those who experience it.
