When you’re in the middle of menstrual pain, it can be hard to focus on anything else but getting through it—and sometimes that can mean missing out on school, work, social activities, and more.
Period pain can be a debilitating condition experienced by women worldwide. Depending on their severity and tolerance, women undergoing menstruation find it hard to focus on their daily commitments, needing to fundamentally manage their pain before effectively focusing on anything else, both physically and mentally.
However, there’s good news– red light therapy can help with that! In this article, we’ll discuss how red light therapy works, and how it can be an alternative way to alleviate pain in place of medication.
Period pain is a common issue women experience during menstruation. The severity of the pain varies from person to person, ranging from slight discomfort to intense pain that debilitates them for a few days every month. Common symptoms include the following:
A 2012 study to determine the frequency of dysmenorrhea in 500 women found that 343 (84.1%) of them experienced pain during some or every period.
The study also found that period pain negatively influenced their quality of life, academic performance, and ability to socialise, as well as promoting a need for medication for half the participants.
Most women use non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to relieve period pain. However, some may opt out of this option to avoid any unwanted side effects, like dizziness or the sensation of being bloated, and turn to alternative forms of treatment like red light therapy.
Thanks to its more natural, gentle, straightforward, and holistic approach to helping women alleviate period pain, red light therapy home devices are now an increasingly popular option for wavelengths of natural light directly to your skin and cells.
Wavelengths emitted by your red light therapy device work their magic by improving your blood flow by regulating your smooth muscle tissue activity. The light eventually reaches your uterus and encourages nitrous oxide production.
The nitrous oxide then covers your uterus’ smooth muscle tissue, producing a phosphate particle (ions that help synthesise or break down molecules) called cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), relaxing the tissue to receive oxygen.
This is significant information since according to a 2005 study conducted by Altunyurt et al., there’s a clear correlation between blood flow and period pain. Consequently, red light therapy prevents your uterine blood vessels from constricting thanks to improved blood circulation.
While more clinical studies are certainly needed to form concrete evidence regarding the efficacy of red light therapy as a whole, it has already helped numerous women treat their period pain and its associated symptoms in a non-toxic, non-invasive, and harmless way.
Thanks to this, women are now free to have a more natural method to alleviate their period pain without resorting to pain-relief medications or adding/taking off certain foods in their diet.
