My question is really simple and I hope there won't be any mentally ill answers here

Some girls have pain free periods while others even have to be admitted to hospitals just because they are on their monthly periods.

What is the cause of these PAINS?

talk to your doctor!

Humble, the medical term for menstrual pain is dysmenorrhoea. The severity of the pain in people vary mainly due to differences in hormone secretion (prostagladin in particular) and also whether it's organic or non organic cause.

There are two types of menstrual pain:

*primary type

this has no organic cause. Its basically an exaggeration of normal physiology. The mechanism of how it occurs is too technical and unnecessary here.

This type occurs in young females when they start menstruation. However it lessens with age and most time disappear later on(usually after giving birth). And its treated when the sufferer perceives it as too disturbing or when it interfers with her usually activities.

*secondary type

this one has an organic cause. Its commoner in older people. The possible causes include infection(esp PID), fibriod of the womb, endometriosis, adenomyosis, cervical stenosis. These are medical terms,its left for the medical doctor treating the patient to explain further. Treating these conditions relieves the person of the pain.

the age at which you first experienced it is a very important factor in arriving at the possible cause. If you're older and the pain is a recent development then you need to see a gynaecologist. You cant get treatment here until you're properly examined and necessary investigations carried out.

ok. It may be the primary type. But if its so disturbing you should visit a gynaecologist. Its subjective and it all depends on how you perceive the pain. There're drugs for it and never feel shy about it. Its a common complaint in clinics,so dont feel the doctor will think of you're wierd or something.
