Best Doctor for Painful Periods in Gachibowli

What Are Painful Periods (Dysmenorrhoea)?

Dysmenorrhoea refers to painful menstrual cramps that occur before or during menstruation. While mild cramping is common, severe pain that disrupts daily life is not normal and requires medical evaluation. There are two types: Primary dysmenorrhoea (no underlying cause, usually begins at first period) and Secondary dysmenorrhoea (caused by an underlying gynaecological condition).

Common Causes of Painful Periods

• Endometriosis – the leading cause of severe period pain
• Uterine fibroids (non-cancerous growths in the uterus)
• Adenomyosis (endometrial tissue within the uterine muscle)
• Ovarian cysts
• Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)
• Intrauterine device (IUD) in early months
• Cervical stenosis

When Should You See a Doctor?

• Period pain that prevents you from attending school, work, or daily activities
• Pain that does not respond to over-the-counter painkillers
• Pain that has worsened over time
• Heavy bleeding along with pain
• Pain during sexual intercourse or while passing urine or stools
• Infertility concerns
