Updated November 14, 2016. Estimated average glucose (eAG) or average glucose is a newer term you may see reported by your doctor.

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.
Common menstrual cramps usually become less painful as a woman ages and may stop entirely if the woman has a baby. Secondary dysmenorrhea is pain that is caused by a disorder in the woman's reproductive organs, such as endometriosis, adenomyosis, uterine fibroids, or infection.Pain from secondary dysmenorrhea usually begins earlier in the menstrual cycle and lasts longer than common menstrual cramps.enstrual cramps are caused by contractions (tightening) in the uterus (which is a muscle) by a chemical called prostaglandin. The uterus, where a baby grows, contracts throughout a woman's menstrual cycle. During menstruation, the uterus contracts more strongly.
