Why Does It Happen?

During menstruation, the uterus contracts to help shed its lining. Stronger contractions may contribute to discomfort and cramping.

Primary Dysmenorrhea

Common menstrual cramps not caused by another medical condition.

Secondary Dysmenorrhea

Menstrual pain associated with underlying conditions that may require medical evaluation.

Endometriosis

Endometriosis occurs when tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus and may contribute to pelvic pain, inflammation, and heavier periods.

Exercise

Supports circulation and physical comfort.
