Any pain, in any part of the body, is a sign that a person's life force is unhealthy. Menstrual complaints, serious pain, unusual bleeding or clotting, strange discharges, PMS and so on, are all symptoms of a deeper problem. A woman should not have to put up with them. They can be cured by a moderately competent homoeopath. I can promise all my patients that any menstrual problems will be greatly improved, if not completely cured. Homoeopathy seems to be extraordinarily effective with this particular sort of imbalance, and I never really have any difficulty sorting it out. Even if the rest of the case resists my efforts to improve it, this particular sphere seems most easily ameliorated.

Having said all that, painkillers on their own aren't too bad, and if you have to, then do it. But don't fool yourself into thinking it is having no effect. Any symptom that is suppressed is causing some harm to your vital force. You don't have to endure it, as Homoeopathy can solve it, but painkillers are not the way.
