I had read some articles and I want to share with you so that u guys should understand ur girls whenever they have their period.

 Dysmenorrhea.The term menstrual disorders refers to any of a number of conditions that are related to the menstrual cycle. This is the term used to describe painful menstrual periods. There are two types of dysmenorrhea. Primary dysmenorrhea has no underlying cause. Secondary dysmenorrhea is caused by an underlying gynecological disorder.

Primary dysmenorrhea affects more than women who have a menstrual period. These women have severe pain that interferes with daily activities. Only about one-fourth of all women with dysmenorrhea have secondary dysmenorrhea, meaning there is an underlying cause of their symptoms.

Primary dysmenorrhea occurs when the uterus contracts because the blood supply to the endometrium is reduced. This pain occurs only during a menstrual cycle where an egg is released.If the cervical canal is narrow, the pain may be worse as the endometrial tissue passes through the cervix. Pain can also be caused by a uterus that tilts backward instead  of forward, low levels of physical activity, and emotional stress.

Secondary dysmennorhea can be caused by the growth of uterine tissue outside the uterus, called endometriosis; non-cancerous growths of muscle and fibrous tissue in the uterus, called fibroid tumors; the non-cancerous growth of the uterine lining in the muscular wall of the uterus, called adenomyosis; inflammation of the fallopian tubes; and the growth of scar tissue, or adhesions, between organs.

We can avoid having Dysmennorhea by getting plenty of rest, follow a good diet, and exercise.
