Possible causes

  • Endometriosis

    A condition where endometrial cells (cells that line the womb) grow in other places such as the ovaries. This causes pain that is worst during menses but the symptoms can vary. The exact cause is unclear, but it can affect women of any age. There are several possible explanations including the backwards flow of menstrual blood into the abdominal cavity, disorder for the immune system or transformation of the normal cells of the abdomen.

  • Functional dysmenorrhea

    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.

  • Ovarian cyst

    Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs in the ovary or on it's surface. The main causes include hormonal imbalance, pregnancy, endometriosis, and pelvic infections.
