Resumen
Las contracciones involuntarias de los músculos producidos por la menstruación provocan un efecto doloroso. Para el tratamiento de los cólicos causados por la dismenorrea se utilizan fármacos antinflamatorios no esteroideos (AINE’S), según información recopilada en Vademécum, Grupo Cochrane de desórdenes menstruales, así como en diferentes artículos indican que los AINE’s son muy efectivos para dar alivio a los cólicos menstruales, pero causan efectos adversos entre los que podemos citar malestares gastrointestinales. Para evitar estos efectos adversos por el uso de la medicina convencional se recomienda acudir a la medicina natural de plantas como Origanum vulgare y Ruta graveolens que brindan un efecto antiespasmódico por su composición química como el carvacrol y Timol en el Orégano y arborina, arborinina, rutamarina en la Ruda. Para la encuesta se tomó como población a 97 participantes que cumplían con los criterios de inclusión, esta población se la uso con el fin de conocer el consumo de estas dos plantas usadas durante la menstruación. En este estudio se encontró que 44 personas usan medicamentos y los 53 restantes acuden al uso de plantas para aliviar los cólicos. Con estos resultados podríamos indicar que se cumplieron con los objetivos del estudio resaltando que hay una pequeña población que enfatizaron que el uso de los AINE’s les ha provocado enfermedades gástricas.
The involuntary contractions of the muscles produced by menstruation cause a painful effect. For the treatment of cramps caused by dysmenorrhea, non- steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are used, according to information compiled in Vademecum, Cochrane Menstrual Disorders Group, as well as in different articles indicate that NSAIDs are very effective to relieve menstrual cramps but cause adverse effects among which we can cite gastrointestinal discomfort. To avoid these adverse effects from the use of conventional medicine, it is recommended to resort to natural medicine from plants such as Origanum vulgare and Ruta graveolens that provide an antispasmodic effect due to their chemical composition such as carvacrol and thymol in oregano and arborine, arborinin, rutamarine in rue. For the survey, 97 participants who met the inclusion criteria were taken as a population, this population was used to know the consumption of these two plants used during menstruation. In this study it was found that 44 people use medications and the remaining 53 use plants to relieve cramps. With these results we could indicate that the objectives of the study were met, highlighting that there is a small population that emphasized that the use of NSAIDs has caused gastric diseases.
