Is almost monthly dysmenorrhea normal?
When i first got my period it hurt but not that much until the 2nd time and I got really bad dysmenorrhea and then it continued like that almost every month for 9 years now. Once in a while i get normal cramps but most of the time it's dysmenorrhea. Is this normal? Should i go to a doctor?

Hi there. Women will have varying degrees of painful cramps. Does ibuprofen help? I wouldn't go to the doctor specifically for this but as you've had your period for 9 years, I'm sure you see an ob/gyn annually for a pelvic exam. If not, then you should be. At that appointment, talk to your doctor about the painful cramps. good luck
