Dysmenorrhea – What It Is, Treatments, Causes

Possible Complications of Dysmenorrhea

Dysmenorrhea does not lead to other medical problems, but it might result in certain health complications associated with the underlying cause. A common complication is an endometriosis, which can cause fertility problems. People with primary dysmenorrhea who often drink alcohol, smoke, and are obese can be at a higher risk of related issues. The best way to prevent these problems is to inform your healthcare provider and follow instructions.[3]
