Painful menstruation or Dysmenorrhea is classified into two categories:
- Primary Dysmenorrhea
Primary dysmenorrhoea is painful menstruation with no detectable organic disease and is more common in adolescent women and disappears as one grows into adulthood. It may start with the onset of a period but rarely persists beyond 48 hours after the onset of menstruation.
- Secondary dysmenorrhoea
Secondary dysmenorrhoea is usually caused in women who have had painless periods before. The pain tends to get worse over time and it often lasts longer than normal menstrual cramps. It is typically caused by a gynecologic disorder such as endometriosis, adenomyosis, or fibroids, or by congenital anomalies of the pelvic reproductive organs.
Painful menstruation can be classified into 2 types. One is Primary Dysmenorrhea and another one is Secondary dysmenorrhoea.
