Re: article from another group

I haven't read the majority of the posts for the past month or so, but thought I saw some on menstrual issues. This was posted in the Crohn's group.

Menstrual Abnormalities In one study,12 menstrual abnormalities (including amenorrhea, irregular menses, dysmenorrhea and menorrhagia) were reported in 58 percent of 360 women with Crohn's disease. Multiple contributing factors are likely, including the influence of chronic disease, poor nutrition and medications. Physicians should be aware that nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs have, in some cases, exacerbated underlying inflammatory bowel disease.13 These medications are commonly used to treat dysmenorrhea but should be used with caution in patients with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. In some patients, differentiation of pain caused by Crohn's disease and dysmenorrhea may be impossible.
