Try Free Symptom QuizWhat is Functional Dysmenorrhea?
Dysmenorrhea is the medical term for pain with menstruation. For most women this is mild and tolerable, but for some it can be severe and cause interference in living their life and doing normal activities. Primary or functional dysmenorrhea means the common menstrual cramps/pain that recur with each cycle and is not due to other diseases. This pain is from the natural cramping of the uterus as it sheds it lining, and typically gets better after the first few days. Secondary dysmenorrhea is due to some problem within the reproductive system. Functional dysmenorrhea is usually diagnosed only after other investigations (e.g. ultrasound) do not find any abnormalities responsible for the pain.
Typical Symptoms of Functional Dysmenorrhea
- Pain in the pelvis- the lowest part of the abdomen, between the belly button and groin
- Headache
- Lower abdominal pain
- Nausea or vomiting
- Abdominal pain
- Weakness in arms or legs
- Sharp abdominal pain
- Easily fatigued
Diagnostic Questions for Functional Dysmenorrhea
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Do you have pelvic pain?
- Do you have headaches or a heavy feeling in your head?
- Do you have lower abdominal pain?
- Are you feeling nauseous or have you been vomiting?
- Do you have a stomach ache?
Treatment of Functional Dysmenorrhea
Management of symptoms depends on the severity. Many patients with mild symptoms can find relief with over the counter anti-inflammatory medications (NSAID's) such as ibuprofen or naproxen. Being on hormonal contraception such as birth control pills or an intrauterine device can also help reduce the pain and bleeding related to menstruation. If the pain and bleeding do not respond to such medications, further workup is required to exclude a problem.
