What is Primary Dysmenorrhoea?

Primary Dysmenorrhoea is a common menstrual disorder characterised by severe pain during menstruation that is not caused by any other underlying health condition, with pain also affecting other areas of the body.

Pelvic and Lower Back Pain

It is believed that pain associated with Primary Dysmenorrhoea is due to the production of hormone-like compounds called prostaglandins which cause the uterus to contract, leading to painful stomach cramps. This pain can sometimes be felt in the lower back.

Leg Pain

Pain from Primary Dysmenorrhoea can often be so severe that it can spread to the thighs and lower legs.

Stomach Problems and Nausea

The pain of Primary Dysmenorrhoea can cause an individual to feel nauseous, and increased levels of prostaglandins can cause the stomach to contract leading to problems with bowel movements such as diarrhoea.

Headaches and Fatigue

A decline in oestrogen and an increase in levels of prostaglandins can lead to headaches, and the pain of Primary Dysmenorrhoea can lead to interrupted sleep.

When should an individual seek medical help?

Seeking medical help for Primary Dysmenorrhoea is essential for managing the condition effectively and improving your quality of life. Here are some situations in which you should consider seeking medical assistance:

Severe or Persistent Pain
If you are experiencing severe menstrual pain during or before your menstruation that affects your stomach, back or legs.

Limitations in Daily Activities
If the pain is preventing you from participating in daily activities.

Changes in Bowel Movements
If you are experiencing changes to your bowel movements.

Mental Health Symptoms
If your symptoms are causing you to experience mental health problems such as depression or anxiety.

Difficulty Managing Pain
While some pain during menstruation is normal and can be managed at home, if you are struggling to manage the pain on your own it is time to seek the advice of a medical professional.
