The very painful Dysmenorrhea

I am not feeling well today because of dysmenorrhea. This is usually my problem every month whenever I got my period. So I decided to have some research and make it as one of my articles today here on RC. Let's start. **Dysmenorrhea** is the pain associated with menstruation.  More than one half of women who menstruate have some pain for like 1–2 days each month. It's really painful that you can't do anything. **There are two types of dysmenorrhea:** *Primary dysmenorrhea* - is pain that comes from having a menstrual period, or "menstrual cramps." It is usually the caused by natural chemicals called prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are made in the lining of the uterus***.*** *Secondary dysmenorrhea*- Secondary dysmenorrhea is caused by a disorder in the reproductive system. It may begin later in life than primary dysmenorrhea. The pain tends to get worse, rather than better, over time. The pain of secondary dysmenorrhea often lasts longer than normal menstrual cramps. **Medication** Certain pain relievers can reduce the amount of prostaglandins made by the body and lessen their effects. These actions make menstrual cramps less severe.
