Dysmenorrhea or painful menses. or menstrual cramps occur when the uterus contracts strongly during menstruation. The contraction of the uterus aids to expel its lining (endometrium) and clots out through the vaginal opening. If the uterus contracts too strongly, it can press against nearby blood vessels, cutting off the supply of oxygen to the muscle tissue of the uterus. Pain results when part of a muscle briefly loses its oxygen supply.
Prostaglandin is the chemical responsible for the contraction of the uterus. The higher the prostaglandins, the higher are the contractions. The uterus contracts throughout the menstrual cycle; however, the maximum contraction occurs during menstruation.
Dysmenorrhea or painful menses may be primary or secondary. Primary dysmenorrhea is due to chemicals called prostaglandins secreted during normal periods. These activate the body’s pain pathways. Primary dysmenorrhea is common menstrual cramps. Cramps usually begin one to two years after a woman starts getting her period. Pain usually is felt in the lower abdomen or back and can be mild to severe. Common menstrual cramps usually become less painful as a woman age and may stop entirely after the woman has a baby.
Secondary dysmenorrhea is pain caused by a disorder in the woman’s reproductive organs. Pain from secondary dysmenorrhea usually begins earlier in the menstrual cycle and lasts longer than common menstrual cramps.
Other causes of dysmenorrhea are:
- Endometriosis: The endometrium gets implanted outside the uterus, most commonly on the fallopian tubes, ovaries, or the tissue lining of the pelvis.
- Uterine fibroids/Tumors: These noncancerous tumors in the wall of the uterus can cause pain.
- Adenomyosis: The endometrium begins to grow into the muscular walls of the uterus.
- Pelvic inflammatory disease: This refers to the infection of the female reproductive organs.
- Cervical stenosis: In some women, the cervical opening is small enough to obstruct menstrual flow, causing a painful increase in pressure within the uterus.
- Abnormal pregnancy
- Infections, tumors, or polyps in the pelvic cavity.

First, asked your patient about her symptoms and menstrual cycles, perform a pelvic exam, insert speculum and examines the vagina, cervix, and uterus. Search/examine for any lumps or changes and take a small sample of vaginal fluid for testing.
