Description Secondary dysmenorrhea is related to the presence of pelvic lesions secondary to organic pelvic disease such as endometriosis, salpingitis, PID (pelvic inflammatory disease), postsurgical adhesions, etc. Secondary dysmenorrhea begins a few days before menstruation and lasts several days after the onset of flow. Often, it is lateralized to one side, and it does not characteristically peak and diminish as clearly or quickly as primary dysmenorrhea. Its onset is later in life, in women who have not had primary dysmenorrhea; however, it can be superimposed onto a pre-existing case of primary dysmenorrhea. An intrauterine device (IUD) may cause secondary dysmenorrhea.

The pain is usually dull or cramping and is felt in the lower abdomen or back. The cramps come in waves caused by uterine contractions. The pain may last only a few hours, one day, or for the entire period. Cramping begins just before or at the onset of the menstrual flow. Other symptoms include nausea, vomiting, and frequent bowel movements with cramps. Dizziness, fainting, and paleness may also occur. About 10 percent of women have severe dysmenorrhea. These women may have partial or total disability during their periods. Menstrual pain is caused by the release of a hormone called prostaglandin. The hormone is responsible for the normal functions of the uterus during menstruation. Other muscles in the body release this same hormone when injured. Exercise does not increase a woman's risk for severe dysmenorrhea. In fact, exercise can reduce the discomforts caused by a woman's monthly period. Female athletes report less than normal pain with their periods. It is safe to exercise, train, and compete while having a period.

Reprinted from Journal of Reproductive Medicine, 1987; Vol. 32, No. 1, pages 37-41 LUNA GIRL Movie Surgical Treatment of Primary Dysmenorrhea with Laparoscopic Uterine Nerve Ablation. Edward M. Lichten, M.D. James Bombard, Ph.D. Abstract With approximately 25% of dysmenorrheic patients reporting no improvement with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, a study was devised to evaluate the effectiveness of a laparoscopic technique for the interruption of the uterosacral nerves. In a double-blind study of 21 patients with primary dysmenorrhea, 81% (9 of 11) reported significant relief from menstrual pain after the surgery. Performed as an outpatient procedure, laparosocpic uterine nerve ablation may alleviate dysmenorrheic complaints when other modalities have failed. Half the treated women reported continued relief of menstrual pain at 12 months. These results suggest that uterosacral nerve interruption may prove an effective alternative treatment for this menstrual disorder. LUNA Surgery Movie Normal Anatomy Dysmenorrhea, a Greek term, denotes painful menstrual flow.

Rosner, Ph.D., FCER Director of Research Des Moines, Iowa -Patricia Brennan's dysmenorrhea study, a full-scale clinical trial begun in 1992, has resulted in a paper accepted for publication in April 1999 by the journal Pain It was preceded by a pilot study addressed to the same issue which was published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics in 1992 . Unfortunately, the recent publication in Pain suffers from a number of design flaws, omissions of data, and unexplained contradictions with the earlier pilot studyall of which significantly compromise its validity and leave more questions unanswered than resolved. One wishes that greater efforts were made by the authors to resolve what had appeared to be a positive result in the earlier investigation with the negative findings obtained in the more recent publication, above and beyond what sometimes might be expected with the differences of population types and numbers between the two investigations. The purpose in both of these studies was to assess the comparative effects of a high force spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) and low force maneuver (LFM) in affecting the pain and prostaglandin levels experienced in women with primary dysmenorrhea. The full-scale trial employed patient groups of 65-70, approximately three times larger than those employed in the pilot study. In addition, it observed patients over a total of four menstrual cycles: one as a baseline control after which subjects were randomized into the two intervention groups, and

What is it? Cause Symptoms How long will it last? ... Resources WHAT IS IT? Dysmenorrhea (menstrual cramps or painful periods) is a feeling of physical discomfort that occurs immediately before or during menstrual periods. WHAT CAUSES IT? Researchers believe that menstrual cramps are influenced by prostaglandins, which are chemicals normally produced in the body. Too much prostaglandin may lead to excess cramping of the uterus, which results in pain. WHAT ARE ITS COMMON SYMPTOMS? The following is a list of frequently mentioned complaints: lower abdominal discomfort and fullness, backache, leg and/or thigh aches, headache, nausea, diarrhea, bloating, dizziness, irritability, fatigue, pelvic fullness or heaviness. HOW LONG WILL IT LAST? Menstrual cramps and other menstrual discomforts usually begin 12-24 hours prior to, or on, the day of the onset of menstrual flow. For most women the symptoms last only a day or two. For others, the symptoms may last throughout the period (5 to 7 days). Some women have the same kinds of menstrual discomfort with every period but for other women the symptoms may change from month to month. IS IT CONTAGIOUS?
