Menstrual pain, also known as dysmenorrhea, is a common condition that affects many women. For some, the pain is mild and manageable, but for others, it can be debilitating, interfering with daily life, work, and emotional well-being. At Recovery Rehab in Parramatta, we provide expert physiotherapy solutions to help women effectively manage menstrual pain and improve their quality of life.
What is Menstrual Pain?
Menstrual pain refers to cramps and discomfort experienced in the lower abdomen during menstruation. It may also be accompanied by back pain, leg pain, nausea, fatigue, and headaches. There are two main types of menstrual pain:
Primary Dysmenorrhea:Pain caused by uterine contractions during menstruation, often starting in adolescence.
Secondary Dysmenorrhea: Pain due to underlying conditions such as endometriosis, fibroids, or pelvic inflammatory disease.
