A few days before and/or at the start of menstruation, menstrual pain (dysmenorrhoea) may appear. This pain lasts one to three days and presents as cramps in the lumbar region. Primary dysmenorrhoea is menstrual pain with no underlying gynaecological disorder.
Endometriosis is a benign chronic condition that affects many women, caused by the abnormal presence of uterine lining tissue on neighbouring organs. It can reduce fertility and cause very intense period pain with a significant impact on daily life.
