Is Dr Sherrill Sellman legit? I clicked the link to her website but it reminded me of one of those “as-seen-on-tv” sites.
I read that whole article and I’m aware of some of the info there. I’m asking because my 14 yr old granddauhter is being treated for painful periods with birth control pills. I don’t like it and I’ve said so. They took her off them for awhile but once it was out of her system the pain returned so back to the pills she went.
I want to give my daughter this article but I don’t want her to be able to say that it’s just another manufacturer trying to sell their pill.

Certain non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) decrease prostaglandin production which eases menstrual cramps. NSAIDs such as Cataflam® (Diclofenac) may be prescribed when OTC anti-inflammatory drugs fail to adequately relieve menstrual pain. Other prescription NSAIDs often prescribed for menstrual cramps include naproxen (Naprosyn, Anaprox), iuprofen (Motrin, IBU), indomethacin (Indocin), and mefenamic acid (Ponstel).

Vitamin supplements
The supplements recommended below have been studied in clinical trials and have been found to be effective in connection with painful periods. For best result you should take them over a period of three months, at the end of which you should be reassessed in order to monitor improvements and changes and then adjust the supplement programme according to your new condition.

The Pill has been used to treat painful periods since the 1960s, but today, it contains much lower levels of hormones than it did forty years ago. It’s not certain whether the new “low-dose” Pill is of any use in treating painful periods. A Cochrane review of the relevant research stated that: “No conclusions can be made about the efficacy of commonly used modern, lower-dose, combined oral contraceptives for dysmenorrhoea”. This doesn’t mean that the Pill is definitely NOT helpful with painful periods, just that researchers aren’t yet sure. Modern IUS devices, such as Mirena are recommended for reducing heavy periods and may also help ease painful periods as a result.
