Abstract
Background:
The words "nutrition" and "pharmaceutical" are combined to form the
phrase "nutraceutical." Nutraceuticals are foods or dietary components that have an important role
in regulating and sustaining normal physiological function in humans. For the treatment of dysmenorrhoea,
a variety of pharmacological medications are available, however, they all have significant
side effects. Dietary supplements and lifestyle management, on the other hand, were found to have a
major influence on the occurrence and control of dysmenorrhea.
Objective:
The objective of this paper is to study a comprehensive review of the dietary and nutritional
supplements with special emphasis on dysmenorrhea. This paper focuses on understanding
and interpreting the details of menstrual pain and its effective nutritional diet that can be used as a
treatment for avoiding menstrual discomfort.
Methods:
The selection of data has been done by studying a combination of various research and
review papers from different databases like PubMed, NCBI, Science Direct, WHO, Cochrane Library,
and Web of Science from the year 2000-2022.
Results:
Based on various papers and literature reviews, we have concluded about various dietary
supplements and herbs that can be used to avoid pain during mensuration followed by its all-daily
requirement of nutrition on different age groups and efficacy of treatments.
Conclusion:
According to current evidence, young women should be instructed in the proper use of
dietary supplements, nutrition, and vitamins, as well as the inclusion of effective diet and lifestyle
changes such as exercise and a well-balanced diet with adequate nutrition, as these are likely to
reduce the negative effects of dysmenorrhea.
