BACKGROUND
Dysmenorrhea is uterine pain associated with menses, starting one to three days before the menses, peaking 24 hours after the menses, and subsiding after two to three days. Dysmenorrhea may be primary or secondary. Primary dysmenorrhea is more common, is not associated with the structural disorder, and is characterized by pain resulting from uterine contractions and ischemia mediated by prostaglandins and other inflammatory mediators. Secondary dysmenorrhea is less common and is usually caused by pelvic abnormalities, such as endometriosis, fibroids, and uterine adenomyosis.
