Is Period Pain Disrupting Your Life?

The Types of Period Pain

Period pain can be classified into two main types:

1. Primary Dysmenorrhea

This type of period pain occurs due to natural uterine contractions, triggered by the release of prostaglandins. It often begins in adolescence and continues throughout a woman’s reproductive years. While common, severe primary dysmenorrhea may require medical intervention if it consistently disrupts a person’s daily activities.

2. Secondary Dysmenorrhea

Unlike primary dysmenorrhea, secondary dysmenorrhea is typically caused by a medical condition such as endometriosis, fibroids, adenomyosis, or pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). This type of pain may worsen over time and may not improve with standard pain relief methods such as over-the-counter pain relief.
