How do you treat primary dysmenorrhea?
Symptomatic control.
Analgesics like aspirin or tylenol to relieve cramping or low back pain.
Prostaglandin synthetase inhibitors (Ibuprofen, naproxen, mefenamic acid, indomethacin) are more specific for dysmenorrhea.
Oral contraceptives: for ovulation suppression and symptomatic relief.
