A survey of the methods of treatment used in dysmenorrhea is given. Special importance is focused on most frequently used methods of treatment in recent years, e.g. treatment with spasmolytics and hormones. The spasmolytics are by no heans effective in all cases in treatment of dysmenorrhea and undesirable side-effects are of frequent occurrence. When oral contraceptives became available it was found that they represented an effective remedy for dysmenorrhea. Whether the Pill should be used for treatment of dysmenorrhea must depend on whether there is also a desire of contraception or not. It is not unusual that women with severe dysmenorrhea have to abandon oral contraceptives because of side-effects or possible risks of this treatment. There is a need for alternative treatment, and the new effective prostaglandin synthetase inhibitors may meet this need.
本文对痛经的治疗方法进行了综述。重点关注了近年来最常用的治疗方法，如使用解痉药和激素进行治疗。解痉药在治疗痛经时并非对所有病例都有效，且经常会出现不良副作用。口服避孕药问世后，人们发现它是治疗痛经的一种有效药物。是否使用避孕药治疗痛经必须取决于是否有避孕需求。患有严重痛经的女性因副作用或该治疗可能存在的风险而不得不停用口服避孕药的情况并不少见。因此需要替代治疗方法，新型有效的前列腺素合成酶抑制剂可能满足这一需求。
