When Are Anti-Inflammatory Drugs Used in Gynecology?
Anti-inflammatory drugs are used in various gynecological conditions, including:
- Dysmenorrhea: NSAIDs are often the first-line treatment for painful periods. They help reduce menstrual cramps by lowering prostaglandin levels. - Endometriosis: Both NSAIDs and corticosteroids can be used to manage pain and inflammation associated with endometriosis. - Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID): NSAIDs can help manage the pain associated with PID, although antibiotics are the primary treatment. - Postoperative Pain: Anti-inflammatory drugs are often used to manage pain and inflammation after gynecological surgeries.
