Dysmenorrhea is painful menstrual cramps, which negatively impacts the quality of life of a large percentage of the world's female population in reproductive age. The paper reviews the plants used in the Malian traditional medicine for the treatment of dysmenorrhea. Some medicinal plants were effective for treatments of dysmenorrhea with minimal side effects. Conventional therapy for dysmenorrhea, which usually includes non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), provides symptomatic relief, but presents increasing adverse effects with long-term use. This article is in the framework of a study supported by International Foundation for Science (IFS) on three medicinal plants used in the treatment of dysmenorrhea in Mali: Maytenus senegalensis Stereospermum kunthianum and Trichilia emetica.
痛经是指月经期间的疼痛性痉挛，这对世界上很大一部分育龄女性的生活质量产生了负面影响。本文综述了马里传统医学中用于治疗痛经的植物。一些药用植物对痛经治疗有效且副作用极小。痛经的传统治疗方法通常包括使用非甾体抗炎药（NSAIDs），虽能缓解症状，但长期使用会产生越来越多的不良反应。本文是在国际科学基金会（IFS）支持的一项关于马里用于治疗痛经的三种药用植物的研究框架内撰写的：塞内加尔美登木、昆氏羽叶楸和催吐地黄连。
