Dysmenorrhea treatment in Brooklyn, NY

Dysmenorrhea is the medical term for painful or difficult periods also referred to as menstrual cramps. Dysmenorrhea literally means pain during the menstrual periods or menstruation. Some women also experience pain a few days before the periods along with the common period pain. Unfortunately, this is a very common condition expected to affect as many as 20-90% of the women in the reproductive age group. Typically, the menstrual pain begins within the first year since the womans first period.

Often times, dysmenorrhea isnt a diagnosis by itself, but a symptom of some underlying gynecological disorder such as endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, or something else. Even so, in most cases this condition occurs without the presence of any definite underlying cause. The presence or absence of an underlying cause is also the premise for the classification of dysmenorrhea into its two subtypes, primary and secondary dysmenorrhea. While dysmenorrhea with an underlying cause is known as secondary dysmenorrhea, dysmenorrhea without an underlying cause is known as primary dysmenorrhea.

As luck would have it, in women where the painful periods isnt associated with any underlying cause, the pain is likely to reduce or disappear with age or after childbirth. Generally, underweight women, or those who had their first period before the age of 12, or women with irregular and/or heavy periods tend to suffer from painful periods.
