Primary dysmenorrhea is a common gynecological condition characterized by painful menstruation in the absence of pelvic pathology, affecting up to 93% of females globally and approximately 70.2% in India. It significantly impacts daily activities, emotional well-being, and quality of life. The pain is primarily caused by increased uterine prostaglandins leading to muscle ischemia and cramps. Research highlights that non-pharmacological interventions, including core strengthening exercises and dietary management, can effectively reduce pain severity. This article explores the role of physical activity and nutritional habits in managing primary dysmenorrhea, emphasizing their potential to improve menstrual health, reduce discomfort, and enhance overall well-being.
