About Dysmenorrhea.

Dysmenorrhea refers to severe, cramping pain of uterine origin that occurs immediately before or during menstruation, affecting adolescent and adult females of reproductive age.

It is categorized into primary dysmenorrhea, which occurs in the absence of identifiable pelvic pathology, and secondary dysmenorrhea, which arises from underlying conditions such as endometriosis, adenomyosis, or uterine fibroids.

Pathophysiologically, the pain is driven primarily by an excessive production of endometrial prostaglandins, notably prostaglandin F2-alpha, which triggers hypercontractility of the myometrium, reduced uterine blood flow, and localized uterine ischemia.

Clinically, it presents as spasmodic lower abdominal or suprapubic pain that frequently radiates to the lower back and thighs, often accompanied by systemic symptoms including nausea, fatigue, headache, and diarrhea.
