Dysmenorrhea Understanding

Dysmenorrhea: Overview

Dysmenorrhea causes severe and frequent cramps and pain during your period. It may be either primary or secondary.

• Primary dysmenorrhea. This occurs when you first start your period and continues throughout your life. It is usually life-long. It can cause severe and frequent menstrual cramping from severe and abnormal uterine contractions.
• Secondary dysmenorrhea. This type is due to some physical cause. It usually starts later in life. It may be caused by another medical condition, such as pelvic inflammatory disease or endometriosis.

Symptoms
The following are the most common symptoms of dysmenorrhea. However, each person may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:

• Cramping in the lower abdomen
• Pain in the lower abdomen
• Low back pain
• Pain radiating down the legs
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Fatigue
• Weakness
• Fainting
• Headaches

Diagnosis
To diagnose dysmenorrhea, the health care provider will evaluate your medical history and do a complete physical and pelvic exam. Other tests may include:

• Ultrasound. This test uses high-frequency sound waves to create an image of the internal organs.
• Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This test uses large magnets, radiofrequencies, and a computer to make detailed images of organs and structures within the body.
• Laparoscopy. This minor procedure uses a laparoscope. This is a thin tube with a lens and a light. It is inserted into an incision in the abdominal wall. Using the laparoscope to see into the pelvic and abdomen area, the doctor can often detect abnormal growths.
• Hysteroscopy. This is the visual exam of the canal of the cervix and the inside of the uterus. It uses a viewing instrument (hysteroscope) inserted through the vagina.

Treatment
Treatment to manage dysmenorrhea symptoms may include:

• Prostaglandin inhibitors, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications, or NSAIDs, such as aspirin and ibuprofen (to reduce pain)
• Acetaminophen
• Oral contraceptives (ovulation inhibitors)
• Progesterone (hormone treatment)
• Diet changes (to increase protein and decrease sugar and caffeine intake)
• Vitamin supplements
• Regular exercise
• Heating pad across the abdomen

Dysmenorrhea Emerging Drugs Chapters

This segment of the Dysmenorrhea report encloses its detailed analysis of various drugs in different stages of clinical development, including phase III, II, I, preclinical and Discovery. It also helps to understand clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, and the latest news and press releases.

Dysmenorrhea Emerging Drugs

• Pelubiprofen - Daewon Pharmaceutical

Pelubiprofen is a cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) inhibitor approved for the treatment of osteoarthritis and back pain. It is currently in phase III stage of development for Primary Dysmenorrhea.

PNB 001: PNB Vesper Life Science PNB 001 is being developed by PNB Vesper Life Science for the treatment of Dysmenorrhoea. PNB-001 is an isoform-selective antagonist that binds to CCK2 at 20 nM. In an isolated tissue assay, using CCK-5 as agonist the antagonizing properties were confirmed. L-365,260 was used as best CCK2 gastrin antagonist standard and PNB-001 was 10 times more potent and of much higher magnitude. It is currently in phase I stage ofdevelopment.
