Menstrual are many conditions that may require the attention of the physician or other health care. The most common menstrual disorders are premenstrual syndrome, and amenorrhea Dysmenorrheal.
Before the onset of menstruation, many women uncomfortable symptoms that last for a short period, stretching from a few hours a few days. But some of them can be very intense and can disturb the normal functioning of the person. These symptoms are grouped as premenstrual syndrome. In normal cases, the symptoms come to a halt menstruation, when the first, but for some it can last even after the menstrual periods are over. Eighty-five percent of women experience some symptoms of premenstrual syndrome at one time or another.

Dysmenorrheal is feeling intense pain and menstrual cramps. Depending on the severity, Dysmenorrheal is indicated as primary Dysmenorrheal or secondary Dysmenorrheal. Dysmenorrheal symptoms arise from the onset of menstrual periods and are felt throughout life. Due to abnormal uterine contractions due to chemical imbalance, severe menstrual cramping is experienced. Secondary Dysmenorrheal begins in the later stages. The causes are different for primary and secondary Dysmenorrheal. Dysmenorrheal can be attributed to medical conditions such as endometriosis, uterine fibroids, pelvic inflammatory disease, tumors, infections and abnormal pregnancy.
Dysmenorrheal symptoms are lower abdomen cramping and pain, lower back pain, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, fatigue, fainting, weakness and headaches.

Women who drink alcohol during menstrual period experience prolonged pain.

Regular exercise, abdominal massage, hot bath, vitamin supplements and dietary modifications can help overcome Dysmenorrheal.
Amenorrhea is the condition in which the female skips her menses for more than three consecutive menstrual cycles. Amenorrhea is also classified as primary amenorrhea and secondary amenorrhea. Primary amenorrhea develops from the onset of menstrual periods. In this condition, the teen can not get periods when she enters puberty. Secondary amenorrhea is a condition where periods become irregular after a period of time and not from the beginning.
There are many causes of amenorrhea, such as ovulation abnormality, eating disorders, birth defects, anatomical abnormalities, malnutrition, anorexia, bulimia, pregnancy, during exercise, thyroid disorders, obesity and other medical conditions. These ovulation abnormalities are a common cause for the absence or irregular periods. It is a duty that an adolescent start getting menses at least by the age of sixteen. If not, anatomical abnormality, birth defects and other medical conditions are the cause. Teens that participate actively in sports and are athletic have a lower body fat because of what they have absent menses. Yet because of malnutrition, the body is unable to sustain pregnancy.
