She needs eval by: Her gynecologist. Dysmenorrhea can be caused by polyps, fibroids ; adenomyosis. Avoid caffeine, alcohol, extra salt ; junk carbohydrates. Increase complex carbohydrates – try to incorporate at least 5 servings of vegetables and 4 servings of fruit into diet daily. Try NSAID’s, SSRI’s, hormone meds, OTC meds containing diuretics, warm bath, heating pad, exercise ; acupuncture are excellent
