Dysmenorrhea is the medical term for period pains. It can be divided into primary or secondary. Primary or functional dysmenorrhea is the common menses cramps/pain that come recur and is not due to other diseases. Secondary dysmenorhea is due to problems with the reproductive system. Functional dysmenorrhea is usually diagnosed only after other investigations (e.g. ultrasound) do not find any abnormalities responsible for the pain.
Painful menstrual cramps
Pain in the pelvis- the lowest part of the abdomen, between the belly button and groin
Lower abdominal pain
Headache
Easily fatigued
Abdominal pain
Nausea or vomiting
