What medications are used for managing menstrual disorders?
Various medications are used to manage menstrual disorders such as dysmenorrhea (painful periods), menorrhagia (heavy menstrual bleeding), and premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen and naproxen are commonly used for pain relief. Hormonal treatments, such as oral contraceptives and progestins, can help regulate menstrual cycles and reduce bleeding.
