Painful Periods or Dysmenorrhea

CAUSES

1. Lack of progesterone

2. Lack of iron

3. Lack of thyroid

TREATMENT

1. Progesterone is a natural hormone that can do marvelous things for women experiencing menstrual challenges.

2. If iron is low, figure a good way to replace it. For some women it’s quite easy. For other women, it can be more of a challenge.

3. Low thyroid can contribute to dysfunction of the GYN system. This needs to be thoroughly evaluated and treated. (See under “Chronic Fatigue” for more info re thyroid)
