Menstrual cramps accompanied by vomiting are primarily caused by a significant increase in prostaglandins, which stimulate the contraction of gastrointestinal smooth muscles, triggering gastrointestinal reactions and resulting in nausea and vomiting. For the treatment of menstrual pain, oral analgesics such as ibuprofen can be taken, along with vitamin B6, which helps relieve nausea and vomiting. It is recommended to visit a hospital for evaluation; if conditions such as endometriosis or adenomyosis are diagnosed, treating these underlying disorders can also alleviate menstrual pain.
