A member asked:
How do you tell if you just have dysmenorrhea or if it's endrometriosis? would birth control pills help/make symptoms go away on either?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Same: Dysmenorrhea is painful periods. Endometriosis can cause dysmenorrhea. Birth control pills can help with symptoms of both.
