Dysmenorrhea: Primary: no illness causing it. Secondary: if there is a problem. So is important to find out why you have dysmenorrhea. Motrin helps most of the time (take before and during perioids). Do not smoke. Tere is no substitute for a good history and exam by a doctor. Severe pain needs to be evaluated.
