7 faqsWhat is period pain?
Period pain – also called primary dysmenorrhoea – affects most women at some point during their lives.
As the name suggests, period pain is a pain suffered by women during their monthly periods. It usually presents as a discomforting cramping sensation in the lower muscles of the stomach, which can sometimes spread to the lower back and thighs.
The sensation of period pain can vary. For some women, the pain will come in intense spasms, whilst others experience a dull aching sensation instead. Period pain usually occurs at the same time as menstruation, and will normally last between 48-72 hours.
