The disadvantages of taking ibuprofen capsules during menstruation include gastrointestinal irritation; excessive or prolonged use may lead to ulcers and bleeding in the digestive tract mucosa, resulting in anemia. Long-term and high-dose use of ibuprofen can also impair liver and kidney function. Therefore, women suffering from dysmenorrhea are advised to go to the hospital for a thorough examination to identify the underlying cause and receive targeted treatment to effectively relieve menstrual pain.
