Women who use oral contraceptives rarely suffer menstrual cramps, so some
doctors prescribe them for women whose cramps are unrelieved by other
treatments. Contraceptive pills disrupt the normal hormonal changes of the
menstrual cycle, resulting in a thinner uterine lining and a decrease in
prostaglandins production. However, menstrual cramp relief is not considered
by FDA to be a primary reason to use oral contraceptives; rather, it is
included in the labeling as a secondary benefit.
Exercise, too, may be of some benefit, possibly because it raises levels of
beta endorphins, chemicals in the brain associated with pain relief. With
new knowledge, such as the possible roles of exercise and of prostaglandins
in preventing cramps, most women can avoid suffering the monthly anguish of
severe menstrual pain.
