What Causes Severe Menstrual Pain?

Severe menstrual pain can be caused by several factors:
Primary Dysmenorrhea: This is the most common type and is caused by natural prostaglandins, which are chemicals in the body that make the uterus contract.
Secondary Dysmenorrhea: This type is caused by an underlying reproductive health issue such as endometriosis, uterine fibroids, or adenomyosis.
Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID): An infection of the reproductive organs that can cause severe pain.
Intrauterine Device (IUD): Some women experience increased pain after having an IUD inserted.
