Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Take hormonal birth control pills. Try another form of birth control such as an IUD (intrauterine device). If you have PID (pelvic inflammatory disease) get treatment with antibiotics.

Answer: Hormonal birth control pills are often useful in the treatment of both primary and secondary dysmenorrhea. They function by replacing your body's natural production of hormones, including estrogen and progesterone (which are normally produced by the ovaries); instead, you receive these hormones in smaller quantities from the pill. Because you are no longer naturally producing hormones each month, your uterine lining does not grow to the same degree, and you produce less menstrual tissue each month. In secondary dysmenorrhea caused by endometriosis (uterine tissue that grows outside of the uterus), there will be less of this each month, and thus less pain. Taking hormonal birth control pills can also help to reduce worsening of adenomyosis the condition where menstrual tissue grows into the muscle of the uterus. In addition to hormonal birth control pills, there are progesterone-based intrauterine devices (IUDs) that may also be used to aid in the pain of dysmenorrhea. Depo-Provera injections (which are also progesterone based, and are given every three months as a form of contraception and/or as a treatment for dysmenorrhea) are another option, as is a hormonal vaginal ring (which is inserted once a week for three weeks followed by one week "off" for a withdrawal bleed). You can also use a birth control patch, which must be changed each week for three weeks, with one week off. Another option in the treatment of secondary dysmenorrhea caused by endometriosis is to take Gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists; however, these are only used in the short-term as they may cause side effects, and they are not recommended in teenagers. If any of these options interest you, speak to your family doctor who can prescribe them. PID is another potential cause of secondary dysmenorrhea. It typically occurs as a result of other sexually transmitted infections (such as chlamydia or gonorrhoea) that remain untreated, and ascend into your pelvis and lower abdomen. This can lead to many complications, including problems with fertility, the formation of scar tissue, and ongoing pelvic pain. Antibiotics commonly used in the treatment of PID include ofloxacin, metronidazole, ceftriaxone, and doxycycline.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Practice stillness by unplugging from electronics. Work on deep breathing techniques. Incorporate meditation into your daily life. Take a yoga class. Spend time outside in a natural environment. Acknowledge and express gratitude on a daily basis.

Answer: In today's busy world, you're encouraged to go, go, go all the time. When your electronics are on, your brain is always listening for the next email, the next text message, or the next notification. Turning them off gives you a chance to step out of the rat race for a little while and focus on your own spiritual well-being. Try unplugging for an hour each day or set aside one day each week where you turn the electronics off. Incorporate deep breathing techniques into your daily routine. Try one when you wake up or when you're feeling stressed throughout the day. Deep breathing techniques help you clear your mind, center yourself, and de-stress. Plus, you can practice them almost any time during the day, as it only takes a minute or so to run through one. For a simple technique, close your eyes and breathe in while you count to 4 in your head. Hold your breath for 4 counts and then breathe out to the count of 4. Wait 4 counts before you breathe in again and repeat the process. Meditating when you first wake up can help you start your day with less stress, as you'll feel more centered, relaxed, and spiritual. You can also take meditation breaks throughout the day to return yourself to that clear state of mind. Try a simple meditation first. Sit down somewhere you're comfortable and close your eyes or lower your eyes to the floor. Check in with yourself while you take a few deep breaths. Feel any pains and aches you have in your body and acknowledge any emotions you might be feeling. Now, focus on what your body can feel. Think about the weight of your body in the chair or on the floor, the cool or warm air surrounding you, the feel of the carpet or clothing on your skin, and anything else you can feel. Try to keep your mind focused on just being aware, not drifting off into thoughts. When one pops up, just acknowledge and gently push it aside to go back to the feelings in your body. You could also try prayer as a part of your religious tradition if you have one. Look for classes in your area. Check local yoga studios, your parks and rec department, and your local gym for classes. Sometimes, even libraries will offer these classes. If you don't have the time or energy to go to a special class, try exploring yoga at home through videos or online tutorials. Yoga can help you destress, focus your mind, and feel more centered in your life. You can also try other types of classes that get your body moving and focus on centering the mind, such as tai chi. While you likely won't be able to go on a hike in the mountains each day, just spending a little time outside in any natural environment you can find can be beneficial. It can draw you back to your body and help you find your center. Find any place in which you can connect to nature, from your backyard to a small neighborhood park or an office courtyard. When you're outside, take in the environment. Focus on the warmth of the sun or the cool breeze against your skin. Take in the bright green of the trees or the light tan of winter grass. Expressing gratitude helps you be satisfied with what you have in your life instead of always wanting more. Practicing daily gratitude is a spiritual practice across many faith traditions. Try acknowledging something you're thankful for right when you get up and when you go to bed. Let people in your life know when you're thankful for them and the things they do. It's helpful to say your gratitude out loud at times! Write 3-5 things you're thankful for each day in a journal.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Blot the stained area. Prepare a saltwater solution. Spray the saltwater solution on the stained area. Blot the area with a dry cloth to absorb the excess solution. Rinse your blood stain thoroughly. Dry the area.

Answer:
You might benefit from using a cloth or paper towel to remove excess blood. Don't rub the stain, as this can spread the blood stain or push it deeper into your upholstery. Use a dabbing motion to try and remove as much of the blood as you can, changing the cloth/paper towel when needed. Mix 2 teaspoons of salt with 1 cup of cold water and pour the solution into a spray bottle. Hot or even warm water can set the blood stain permanently to your car upholstery, so be sure to use cool water when applying the solution to your stain. If you don't have a spray bottle, dip a clean, white cloth in the saltwater solution and blot the affected area, changing your cloth as necessary. If you are working on a large stain, start on the edges and work your way towards the center; this will keep the stain from spreading. Repeat spraying and blotting until the blood stain is gone or the cloth is not absorbing any more blood. Use a cloth dampened with cold water, rinse the remaining solution from the spot. Try not to scrub at the spot; dabbing motions will draw out the excess solution most effectively. Using a dry cloth or paper towel, dry the area by gently pressing it to the stained area. If the stain is still visible, you may have a permanent stain, but a stronger method might also solve your problem.
