Dysmenorrhea (painful menstruation) is defined as a
condition of severe uterine pain during menstruation. Some women may
experience periodic pains during or prior to, or after menstrual periods
in the lower abdomen as resulting of over production of certain
hormones in the prostaglandins family. In traditional Chinese medicine,
dysmenorrhea is defined as a pain in the lower abdomen, appearing with
menstrual cycle that can spread over to the whole abdomen and
lumbosacral region, depending to diagnosis.
