How much period pain is normal? Dr. Limas talks about the signs and symptoms to look out for in our latest #AskDHR video.
While most women will experience a painful period at some point during her lifetime, it should not be debilitating. If a painful menstrual cycle keeps you from attending school or work, see your OB/GYN to discover the underlying issue. Painful periods can be associated with endometriosis or ovarian cancer, and it is important to speak with your doctor to receive treatment.
