Period pain can be defined as cramping and soreness in the abdominal region during normal menstruation. The medical terminology for this condition is dysmenorrhoea. Almost 80 percent of all women will experience period pain during their reproductive years. The medical establishment divided period pain into two categories: Primary and Secondary. Primary dysmenorrhoea described the normal cramping and discomfort associated with the menstrual cycle. Secondary dysmenorrhoea is pain that has an underlying cause that is not typical in most women. Teens and young adult women most often experience primary period pain, whereas secondary period pain will affect older women, as they get closer to menopause.Period pain is often times caused by the contractions of the uterus during that time of the month. These contractions begin at the end of a 28 to 30 day cycle to expel the lining of the uterus that accumulated to nourish a fertilized egg. If the egg is unfertilized, the lining sheds, thus beginning the female cycle. The contractions are caused by the release of the body's prostaglandins, a hormone produced by the lining of the womb. Period pain can happen with young girl's first period, but most often will occur several months later as the menstrual cycle regulates.The symptoms of period pain can vary from woman to woman. Some women may experience a mild soreness in the abdominal region, while others can feel a radial pain that circles around the back and goes down the thighs. The most common type of pain associated with a woman's period is lower abdominal cramping.
