Campus Construction Update

Starting September 14, we’re closing the Menino building lobby entrance. This, along with the ongoing Yawkey building entrance closure, will help us bring you an even better campus experience that matches the exceptional care you've come to expect. Please enter the Menino and Yawkey buildings through the Moakley building, and make sure to leave extra time to get to your appointment. Thank you for your patience.

Dysmenorrhea, or menstrual cramps (period cramps), are pain and cramping in the lower abdomen just before and/or during menstruation (period). If cramping is very severe, there could be underlying issues like uterine fibroids (non-cancerous growths) or endometriosis (when tissue from the inside of the uterus implants outside the uterus).
