Q: what might be the cause of a severe dysmenorrhea if the blood test and the external scan show no anomalies?

: If the "external scan" was negative, endometriosis can be confirmed often with a laparoscopic exam at the time of your menses. See your GYN physician for guidance, and ask about low does oral contraceptives, as this will stop ovarian hormone production, and preserve fertility options as well as decreasing the dysmenorrhea.
