What is Dysmenorrhea & PMS?Dysmenorrhea refers to painful menstruation, often characterised by intense cramping, lower abdominal discomfort, and sometimes lower back pain, typically occurring just before or during a woman’s menstrual cycle. This condition is caused by excessive uterine contractions triggered by hormonal fluctuations, particularly an imbalance in prostaglandins, the chemicals that help the uterus contract.
Unlike PMS (premenstrual syndrome), which primarily involves emotional and physical symptoms such as mood swings, bloating, and fatigue, dysmenorrhea specifically affects the pelvic area with intense pain during menstruation. |

First Appointment Recommendation:
|
For your initial visit, I recommend a 45-minute massage therapy session to assess your needs and discuss a personalized treatment plan. Future sessions can be 30 minutes to focus on targeted areas of concern. Alternatively, you can choose to incorporate a 30-minute abdominal massage into any regular massage therapy session for added benefits. I look forward to helping you feel your best! |
