Overview
Primary dysmenorrhea is a painful menstruation without demonstrable pelvic pathology.
Symptoms include intermittent painful spasms, crampy labor-like pain localized over the lower abdomen and the suprapubic area which may radiate to the lower back or inner thighs occurring during and occasionally starting prior to menstruation.
Diagnosis is based on clinical presentation, history and physical exam.
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the first-line agents in most women with primary dysmenorrhea.
For further information regarding the management of Dysmenorrhea - Primary, please refer to Disease Algorithm for the Treatment Guideline.
