The inflammatory substance responsible for pain during menstruation is prostaglandins.

The prostaglandins cause the uterine contractions, but in high quantities it will cause blood vessels supplying the uterus with blood to construct so starve the uterus of blood/oxygen very temporarily, and thus this is what causes the pain during menstruation.
