| description | Menstrual pain is one of the common symptoms among women. It is estimated that 5–14% of
women are sometimes absent from school or work because of pain. Usually
gynecologists prescribe analgesics and/or low-dose oral contraceptives. However, such
treatment is not always effective and sometimes causes an adverse effect, such as
stomach pain or low body temperature. Kampo medicine is one of the choices for the
menstrual pain in Japan. Tokishakuyakusan, kamishoyosan, or keishibukuryogan is
commonly used for the treatment of menstrual pain. Here we report a case of menstrual
pain successfully treated with daisaikoto which is not commonly used for such a case.
Twenty-five-year-old woman suffered from severe menstrual pain and stress at
company. She also had constipation and abdominal distension. We prescribed
daisaikoto extract 7.5 g per day. Not only menstrual pain but also constipation and
abdominal distension improved within 6 months. Here we propose that daisaikoto is one
of the choices for the treatment of menstrual pain with mental stress. |
