- Using sunscreen: It is vital for your skin's health to apply a skin sunscreen suitable for your skin's tone, every time you are going to expose your skin to the sun. This should not happen only every time you are planning to go to the beach. Even if you are driving to work on a sunny day and you are inside your car, it is important to protect your face and body by applying a sunscreen lotion at least fifteen minutes before you move outdoors. Remember to reapply if you are constantly out or you are sweating.

Every one of us has a different pain threshold, so it is impossible to imagine what another person might be experiencing while in pain. Only the one enduring such a situation knows whether or not period pains are unacceptably high and if the pain is affecting the quality of her life. If this is the case, then it is time to do something about it. Visiting a specialized doctor, performing a number of tests and taking some kind of medicine, can be some of the first tactics a woman suffering from dysmenorrhoea can perform. But, it is important during those medical sessions to explain and describe the symptoms, their duration and frequency. Some of the most common symptoms women have reported during their periods are nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or constipation, fainting, dizziness, headaches, exhaustion and lethargy. In addition, it is important to know that pain varies from case to case and women might experience a constant low back ache like a dull ache, which is called "congestive dysmenorrhoea" and/or cramping pains like contractions, which are named "spasmodic dysmenorrhoea."
