Dysmenorrhoea

Painful periods (Dysmenorrhoea)

Often, painful menstruation occurs due to an incorrect position of the uterus, inflammatory processes in the genital organs, endometriosis, and as a result of an increased excitability of the nervous system.

Often the pain can be very severe. Hirudotherapy (LT) is appropriate in cases where the cause of pain is due to a local inflammatory process and/ or of blood stagnation in the pelvic area. Results are usually very good with women experience less or no pain and less severe PMS symptoms.
