The absence of menstruation until the age of 16 is called primary amenorrhea, while the cessation of menstruation for more than 6 months is called secondary amenorrhea. The most common occurrence of primary amenorrhea is delayed puberty, that is, adolescence. There are cases of absence of menstruation due to stenosis of the cervix, hymen closure or a curtain in the vagina. The cause of secondary amenorrhea may be the possibility of pregnancy in reproductive age, polycystic ovary syndrome, hyperprolactinemia or early menopause.

painful menstruation

The painful onset of menstruation in women of reproductive age is called primary dysmenorrhea, and the transformation of normal painless menses into painful with advancing age is called secondary dysmenorrhea. Primary dysmenorrhea is associated with uterine contractions and decreased blood supply to the uterus due to increased prostaglandin level in the endometrium. Secondary dysmenorrhea is often associated with inguinal problems. The most common causes are fibroids, adenomyosis, endometriosis or chocolate cyst disease, inguinal infection or ovarian cysts and tumors.
