Re: Sprays work for cramps too -- hormone spray?

Yes, your cramps description above is correct, however it refers to "how" the cramps happen and not "why" -- i.e., what is the cause behind this elevated production of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are present in all women around menstruation, however not all women have cramps.
From my readings, it is excess estrogen that overstimulates the uterus lining during the month and so by the time of menstruation, the lining is thicker than it should be, which requires an elevated production of prostaglandins and harder uterus muscle contractions etc., which cause the cramps. Unfortunately, if not controlled the excess estrogen can cause endometriosis, which means that tissues around the uterus begin to react to the estrogen just like the uterus lining.

Since in our day and age estrogen mimicking substances (xenoestrogens) are ever present, I have been trying to avoid them, and I do see a slight improvement but it has been very slow -- I imagine since it took several years for my cramps to get very bad (I am in my 20's), it will take several years to bring them down naturally, unless the hormone spray speeds up this process, which is what I am really hoping.

For a list of food & cosmetic products that contain estrogen mimicking ingredients to avoid, you can google "xenoestrogens". There are a lot of them! It is very important to avoid products that you use on the skin (such as the ones that contain -paraben ingredients), because the xenoestroegens are absorbed directly into the blood, whereas the ones in food at least go through the liver, which can detoxify some of them.

I have also switched my laundry detergent to a natural one, Biokleen (powder, not liquid), as most commercial detergents have xenoestrogen ingredients that stay in clothes and are absorbed through the skin. Tweet
