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).
