Lloydspharmacy Reveals Couples Beleaguered by Monthly Cramps

December 24, 2010 By Bio-Medicine.Org

COVENTRY, England, Dec. 24, 2010 /PRNewswire/ — New research
from Lloydspharmacy reveals that whilst an overwhelming number of
women suffer from menstrual cramps, male partners’ sympathy levels
at that time of the month appear to be lacking. Although 87% of men
claim to be very or fairly compassionate, a quarter of women (25%)
who have suffered discomfort with ‘Mother Nature’s gift’ say their
partners are unsympathetic.

The survey shows that period pain plagues nine in 10 women (89%)
yet one in five (19%) has suffered in silence at home because of an
unsympathetic partner. However it may be a case of actions speaking
louder than words as, although many men claim to be considerate,
nearly half (42%) admitted they try to stay out of their partner’s
way when ‘aunt dot’ comes to stay.

In light of this, it is unsurprising that one in six (16%) women
said that period pain has resulted in an argument with their
partner.  This is especially true for those women who suffer
severe pain every month, with:

– Nearly two thirds (61%) stating their period is extremely or
very painful

– Half said they’ve been doubled over in pain

– One in five have been physically sick

– A quarter have taken sick leave from work

Melinda Setanoians, prescribing pharmacist at Lloydspharmacy,
said: “Many women clearly suffer quite badly – so much so
that it appears to be affecting the harmony of their relationships.
There is a wide choice of painkillers available but some women
prefer an alternative to medication or a way in which to supplement
it. We are the only high street retailer in the UK to offer a
highly effective, drug-free
period pain reliever device. It uses TENS technology to ease
pain, similar to the machines that people use for back pain and
that women use in the early stag
