Dysmenorrhea...: This is dysmenorrhea which is the pain and cramps during her period. It is very common at an early age especially if her period started to come within the last 20 months. Hormones are adjusting and this type of symptoms can happen on and off. Usually anti-inflammatory medication like ibuprofen helps. If it is very severe and not better with that she should see a gynecologist for evaluation.

Painful, heavy: menses in young females can be a big problem. Menstrual cramps may be caused by identifiable problems, such as endometriosis or uterine fibroids. Treating any underlying cause is key to reducing the pain. The good news is: Menstrual cramps that aren't caused by an underlying condition tend to lessen with age and often improve once a woman has given birth.
