Period Pain & Irregularity
Expert Care for Menstrual Health
Pain associated with menstruation is called dysmenorrhea. Dysmenorrhea typically manifests because chemicals called prostaglandins that are produced in the uterus are released into the blood, causing your muscles and blood vessels in and around the uterus to contract. This is why you may experience abdominal or pelvic cramps during your period.
Sometimes, there’s a different reason why you’re in pain during menstruation. We’ll explore each of the conditions below in more detail to give you a bit more insight and show you what to look out for.
Conditions We Investigate
- Endometriosis and/or Adenomyosis: womb tissue growing where it shouldn’t
- Fibroids: growths occurring around the womb
- Pelvic inflammatory disease: an infection of the womb, fallopian tubes, and ovaries
