　　And this kind of cold medicine containing prostaglandin can really relieve menstrual pain through antipyretic and analgesic. Especially for some women who release too much prostaglandin, taking this kind of cold medicine containing prostaglandin can indeed have a certain analgesic effect.

　　It should be said that this method of using cold medicine to relieve dysmenorrhea is quite unscientific, because there are many causes of dysmenorrhea, and there are many types of cold medicines, and not all cold medicines have anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. But the medicine is only three parts poisonous. If it cannot truly relieve pain, it is still recommended that menstruating women should not blindly try it.

　　Finally, let me remind you that medicines are three-part poisons, so whether it is analgesics or "cold medicines" to relieve menstrual pain, it is not the most scientific way. Therefore, if possible, you should make adjustments from other aspects and minimize the intake of medicines to avoid causing drug dependence.（99healthy Special article on the website (www.99.com.cn).
