Menstrual cramps, or dysmenorrhea, refer to painful uterine contractions occurring before or during menstruation. Primary dysmenorrhea arises from prostaglandin-induced uterine spasms without pelvic pathology, while secondary dysmenorrhea may result from endometriosis, fibroids, adenomyosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, or IUD use. Pain may radiate to the back or thighs and may be accompanied by nausea, diarrhea, fatigue, irritability, or headache. Severity varies, affecting daily activities and quality of life.

Homoeopathy individualizes treatment based on pain character—cramping, gripping, bearing-down, radiating—along with modalities, emotional state, constitutional traits, menstrual flow pattern, and associated symptoms such as nausea, faintness, or chills. Remedies aim to reduce uterine spasm, regulate flow, improve circulation, and balance hormonal function. Long-term relief is achieved through constitutional prescribing and targeted acute remedies during episodes.
