 | | For treatment of primary dysmenorrhea, most doctors prescribe antiprostaglandin drugs or NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) such as aspirin, ibuprofen, ketoprofen, or naproxen. | | | A medical history and pelvic exam alone may provide enough information for the doctor to determine whether the cramps are caused by primary dysmenorrhea. | | | Additional tests may include radiologic studies (including ultrasound) and laparoscopy (involves inserting a tiny, flexible lighted tube through a small incision just below the navel to view the internal abdominal and pelvic organs). |

| | Menstrual Cramps (Dysmenorrhea) |
| | Mild primary dysmenorrhea is often relieved by nonprescription pain relievers such as acetaminophen, aspirin, ibuprofen, or naproxen. | | | If the pain is not relieved with medication, a surgical procedure called a laparoscopy may be done to look for problems that may be causing the pain, such as a cyst or endometriosis. | | | In secondary dysmenorrhea the pain may begin several days before and last throughout your period. |
