Can taking Yasmin relieve dysmenorrhea?
Disease description:
I have quite severe menstrual cramps. A friend said that taking Yaz (Yasmin) can help relieve them, but I'm not sure if it's true. I'd like to ask: can taking Yaz actually help alleviate menstrual pain?

Yasmin can help relieve dysmenorrhea. Yasmin is a short-term oral contraceptive that inhibits ovulation by the ovaries after use, thus having a certain therapeutic effect on menstrual pain. Dysmenorrhea is divided into primary and secondary types. Primary dysmenorrhea occurs with menarche and generally does not progressively worsen. Additionally, the pain is usually mild and can be relieved by drinking more hot water or brown sugar water.
