There are two kinds of painful menses--primary and secondarydysmenorrhea--and it is very important to distinguish between them so bothare treated properly, Debrovner stresses. Primary dysmenorrhea usually starts within three years of the onset ofmenstruation and lasts one or two days each month. While this type of menstrual pain may lessen for some women as they grow older or after thebirth of children, it also can continue until menopause.Secondary dysmenorrhea is menstrual pain caused by disease such as pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis (abnormalities in the lining of the uterus), or uterine fibroids (nonmalignant growths). Endometriosis is a major cause of secondary dysmenorrhea. Pain from it usually starts later in life and worsens with time, according to Debrovner. Another hint that disease might be the cause of menstrual pain is if pain also occurs duringintercourse or during other parts of the cycle. Primary dysmenorrhea is a result of the normal production ofprostaglandins--chemical substances that are made by cells in the lining of the uterus. (Prostaglandins are also produced elsewhere throughout thebody.) The lining of the uterus--which has built up and thickened during theearly stages of the menstrual cycle--breaks up and is sloughed off at the end of the cycle and releases prostaglandins, explains Lisa Rarick, M.D., medical officer in FDA\s division of metabolism and endocrine drug products.The prostaglandins, in turn, make the uterus contract more strongly than at any other time of the cycle. They can even cause it to contract so much thatthe blood supply is cut off temporarily, depriving the uterine muscle ofoxygen and thus causing pain. Women who suffer painful contractions may beproducing excessive amounts of prostaglandins. Or, it may be that some womenare just more sensitive to them, says Rarick. The cramps themselves help push out the menstrual discharge. Because thecervical opening is often widened after childbirth or years of menstruation,cramps may lessen in severity later in life.Most women describe their menstrual cramps as a dull aching or a pressure low in the abdomen. The pains may wax and wane, remain constant, or be so severe that they cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, backache, sweating, andan achiness that spreads to the hips, lower back, and thighs.
