Secondary dysmenorrhea (period pains or cramps) is caused by a disorder in the reproductive organs. 

The pain tends to get worse over time and it often lasts longer than normal menstrual cramps. 

There are multiple possible causes but One of the potential causes is endometriosis which is an often painful disorder in which tissue similar to the tissue that normally lines the inside of your uterus grows outside your uterus. 

Although many experience cramping during their menstrual periods, those with endometriosis typically describe menstrual pain that’s far worse than usual and also, it may increase over time.

Various treatments options such as medications, hormone therapy, and surgery, are available to help manage its side effects and complications. 

It’s important to immediately contact your doctor if you feel you might have endometriosis to begin the process of getting an accurate diagnosis and eventually creating a plan based on your specific situation.

You do not have to suffer in silence.
