Secondary dysmenorrhoea typically lasts longer and starts earlier in the menstrual cycle. It is caused by a disorder of the female reproductive organs, such as endometriosis, adenomyosis, uterine fibroids, or pelvic inflammatory disease.
If you suffer from any of these conditions, you will usually need to be under the care of a specialised health care professional and they will be able to further advise you on symptom management.
