Lol, do you even know what dysmenorrhea is? What you have is just abdominal pain. With dysmenorrhea, all you do is cry and fold up.

This is like comparing joint ache from a hard day's work to joint ache from scd. They are both aches but the latter usually ends with the sufferer being exhausted and even needing a transfusion while all the former needs is sleep and at worst a mild pain killer.

Which kind of dysmenorrhea does she have? primary (common menstrual cramps) or secondary (more severe debilitating pain)?

secondary, she didn't see her period last month and the pain came for 2 months at once.

Take pain medicine. Are you in Nigeria? There is one my mum used to give me. I will ask her for the name. It is small and coated with a sweet coating. It worked like magic for me when I had it bad. Also taking a hot shower will help. Massaging her back and putting warm towels on her stomach and back also works wonders. Another wonder worker is drinking lots of warm water before and during the period, really really helps. 8-10 glasses a day. She should stay away from sweet things too. Age also helps, with time, mine reduced a lot. Don't forget to have her take iron tablets for like a week after the period to replenish the blood she has lost. Goodluck!

I'd suggest to see a doctor to properly look at her medical history and know if it is endometriosis or adenomyosis or something else. And possibly do a pelvic exam and other scans to make sure. Someone i know, early 30s, have been having debilitating periods all her life, not until recently did she finally get checked out by a doctor. the doctor initially dismissed her and prescribed pain med, but she insisted to have more exam done, she found out she had endometriosis hence the many years of dying in silent pain. She's pain free now. Please let her see a doctor instead of relying on temporary pain meds that doesnt treat the underlying issue
