Menstrual Cramps Will Become a Thing of the Past
Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and dysmenorrhea (painful menstruation) are common gynecological problems that significantly affect women's health and quality of life. Many women experience symptoms during these periods such as emotional fluctuations, groin and lower back pain, fatigue, breast tenderness, digestive disorders and anxiety. These symptoms are related not only to a hormonal imbalance but also to neural regulation disorders, nutritional deficiencies, immune system activation and insufficient detoxification systems. For this reason, beyond classic symptomatic treatments, a holistic approach based on regulation medicine is needed.
1. The Root Causes of Hormonal Dysfunction and the Role of Neural Therapy
PMS and dysmenorrhea are often associated with hormonal dysfunctions such as estrogen-progesterone imbalance, elevated prolactin, and disruption of the LH/FSH rhythm. However, this dysfunction is itself often the result of neurovegetative irregularities such as low vagal tone, disruption of the stress response system, and interference fields.
Neural therapy has regulatory effects on the autonomic nervous system, targeting interference fields that disrupt regulation, particularly in the cervical segments (Th10-L2, S2-S4), the pelvic ganglion chain, and the hypothalamic-pituitary axis. In addition, the patient's history of pelvic surgeries, infections, or dental/jaw focal fields should also be taken into account and regulated with neural therapy.
2. Phytotherapy: Evening Primrose Oil and Other Supports
In particular, the gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) found in Evening Primrose Oil (EPO) plays a regulatory role in prostaglandin metabolism. It relieves dysphoric symptoms and menstrual cramps. This phytotherapeutic support has been found to be quite effective in the treatment of PMS and dysmenorrhea.
Other important supports:
Vitamin E: With its antioxidant properties, it reduces edema and breast tenderness. In dysmenorrhea, it suppresses the effect of prostaglandins.
Magnesium: Reduces uterine smooth muscle spasms and eases psychological symptoms.
Vitamin B6: Contributes to neurotransmitter synthesis, reducing irritability and depression.
Omega-3 fatty acids: Reduce inflammation, lowering the intensity of pain.
NADH and Coenzyme Q10: Support cellular energy production and improve mitochondrial function. They are particularly supportive in chronic fatigue and mood disorders.
3. Heavy Metal Burden and the Importance of Chelation
In many patients, latent acidosis and heavy metal burden (particularly cadmium, lead, mercury) accompanying PMS and dysmenorrhea are observed. These toxins are known to disrupt not only hormonal balance but also nervous system and mitochondrial function. At this point, chelation treatments are important for re-establishing regulation. Herbal detoxification products (for example, NTVita Tetra DTX Plus) and liver support supplements (for example, NTVita IMN Plus) complement the process.
4. Acupuncture and Manual Medicine Approach
Acupuncture points such as Spleen-6, Ren-4, LI-4, and St-36 are widely used in the treatment of PMS and dysmenorrhea. In addition, increasing pelvic circulation, releasing connective tissue, and manually correcting sacroiliac dysfunctions also contribute to treatment.
5. Endometriosis: The Underlying Chronic Inflammation
The possibility of endometriosis should not be overlooked in any patient with PMS or dysmenorrhea. Symptoms commonly seen in these patients, such as pelvic pain, pain during bowel movements, and infertility, are important for differential diagnosis. Neural therapy applications aimed at endometriosis (for example, injections targeting the uterine ligaments, sacral plexus, and pelvic ganglia) reduce both pain and tissue irritability.
6. Food Intolerances and Regulating the Gut Flora
Most patients with PMS and dysmenorrhea are also affected by food intolerances (particularly lactose, gluten, and yeast products) and dysbiosis. For this reason, evaluating the gut flora through testing, providing probiotic/prebiotic support, and eliminating certain foods from the diet when necessary are essential for the success of treatment.
PMS and dysmenorrhea have a pathophysiology too complex and multilayered to be explained by hormonal fluctuations alone. A regulation medicine approach that integrates methods such as neural therapy, phytotherapy, NADH-Q10 supplementation, chelation, acupuncture and gut health regulation offers effective and lasting solutions both for reducing symptoms and for treating root causes.
The experience and case analyses gathered at Dr. Hüseyin Nazlıkul's clinic show that this holistic approach produces effective results, and that remaining limited to conventional approaches keeps many patients trapped in a symptomatic vicious cycle for years.
