Updated November 14, 2016. Estimated average glucose (eAG) or average glucose is a newer term you may see reported by your doctor. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) introduced this term to help us translate our A1c tests into numbers that would more closely represent our daily glucose meter readings.
Dysmenorrhea means difficult or painful periods. The most common symptoms are cramps in the lower part of the belly and/or lower back pain during your period. If you have pain, talk to your health care provider. Dysmenorrhea can be treated.
Some pain, cramping, and discomfort during menstrual periods is normal. Excessive pain that causes you to miss work or school is not. Painful menstruation is also called dysmenorrhea. There are two types of dysmenorrhea: primary and secondary. Primary dysmenorrhea occurs in women who experience pain before and during menstruation. Women who have had normal periods that become painful later in life may have secondary dysmenorrhea.
