Abstract:
:Primary dysmenorrhea is commonly a straightforward diagnosis that can be made accurately with an attentive history. In young women who have classic symptoms and no specific indication, a pelvic examination is often unnecessary in the initial evaluation. The opportunity for primary care practitioners to support women in unearthing the best approach to this chronic recurrent discomfort to minimize adverse life impact is significant and valuable. Identification of patients who are incapacitated by their symptoms or have symptoms that represent underlying pathology is a critical component of a careful history. The wide range of treatments available for primary dysmenorrhea virtually ensures that all females troubled by the symptoms can find relief with safe and inexpensive treatments while limiting negative side effects.
