Why do I always have lower abdominal pain for about a week before my period~ But

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Generally, some or most women experience symptoms such as abdominal pain and lower back pain before or after menstruation, which is known as dysmenorrhea. Dysmenorrhea is caused by the synthesis of prostaglandins in the endometrium, leading to severe uterine contractions. If the pain is mild, it usually does not require treatment.
