Dysmenorrhea

Dysmenorrhea refers to painful menstrual periods that interfere with daily activities. At Orion Hospital Pune, we provide advanced and compassionate dysmenorrhea treatment to help women overcome severe menstrual cramps, pelvic pain, and discomfort associated with their monthly cycle.

Our gynecology team specializes in diagnosing the underlying cause of period pain—whether it is primary dysmenorrhea (related to menstrual cramps) or secondary dysmenorrhea caused by conditions like PCOS, fibroids, endometriosis, or pelvic infections. With a patient-centered approach, we offer effective dysmenorrhea treatment tailored to every woman’s needs.

Understanding Dysmenorrhea

Dysmenorrhea can range from mild discomfort to crippling pain that affects work and daily activities. It typically presents as:

  • Sharp or throbbing lower abdominal pain
  • Back pain during periods
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Fatigue
  • Pain radiating to thighs or hips

If the pain persists or worsens every month, expert evaluation is essential.

Causes of Dysmenorrhea

Dysmenorrhea may result from:

  • Heavy prostaglandin release (primary dysmenorrhea)
  • Endometriosis
  • Uterine fibroids
  • Pelvic inflammatory disease
  • Adenomyosis
  • Ovarian cysts
  • Cervical stenosis

Identifying the root cause is the first step toward long-lasting relief.
