Its not abnormal, but it does happen.I used to be a victim till I turned 17.I underwent an operation for appendix and the menstrual pain left with the operation pain.

I was told I would suffer it till I gave birth to my first child.The pain was terrible.I would be bedridden for the entire 5 days it would come with intense pains in my lower and upper tomy as well as the sides.

Just tell your girl to take lots of warm water and also bath with hot water during that time.It helps a little.This might also help;I used to be on boscopan a lot then, bjut our bodies are different.She should look for a mild drug that will help her out

•Secondary dysmenorrhea
