    A similar contingent of patients usually has a history of endometriosis, chronic pelvic inflammatory disease or an adhesion process as a consequence of surgical interventions. The cause of the pain in this case is quite clear: excess blood in the uterus and tubes lead to increased pressure on the provoked organs. The cause of severe pain can be the Navy. Ketanov from a month's pain in this group of women can be quite effective.

    But most patients suffer from primary dysmenorrhea, when a young woman or girl has no problems with the genital area in the past. In this case, if there is no anomaly in the development of the genital organs, the cause of the appearance of unpleasant sensations is psychological. If you drop a relatively low percentage of hormonal disorders, an acute reaction can be triggered by the bending of the uterus, as well as a low pain threshold.

    When the girl does not have the pathology of the genital organs, then the ketas with monthly pain can also alleviate the condition. The fact is that the trigger mechanism for the development of pain in the beautiful half of humanity during menstruation are prostaglandins. It is these substances that cause spasmodic contractions in the uterine wall during menstruation, preventing the normal movement of blood in the vessels of the female genital organs.

    This leads to disruption of the nutrition of the uterus and ovaries, which the female body signals with painful impulses. From the use of anesthetics synthesized on the basis of aspirin, in this case, there will be little benefit. Ketanov with painful menstruation is the drug of choice, as it blocks the production of prostaglandins, than it removes the very problem of pain in the uterus and ovaries.

    In pharmacology there is a large group of drugs, united under the name of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Representative of this type of medication is an anesthetic drug "Ketanov".This substance has antipyretic and anti-inflammatory effect, but the main purpose of this medication is to stop pain syndrome of different origin.

    Such recommendations of experts are explained in that the analgesic effect of this drug is several times greater than the effect of the majority of its analogues. Ketanov is 300 times stronger than aspirin, 50 times more nalgezin, and even widely advertised indomethacin is significantly inferior to the therapeutic effect.

    The pharmacy chain is unable to offer an analgesic of such strength from drugs not related to drugs. This is another positive quality of the substance in question. Ketanov acts at the level of nerve endings and has no effect on the central nervous system.

    It is known that narcotic analgesics have a mass of side effects:

    • depress CNS;
    • provokes a gastrointestinal and urinary tract disorder;
