Dysmenorrhea is a type of excessive pain that occurs during menstruation. Though dysmenorrhea happens most often as a result of the menstrual cycle, a secondary common cause is endometriosis which affects the lining of the uterine cavity. Other lesser common causes of dysmenorrhea are leiomyoma, adenomyosis, ovarian cysts, and pelvic congestion.
