Secondary Dysmenorrhea is a medical condition characterized by the pain that many women or Assigned Females at Birth (AFAB) experience during menstruation or periods. It is often caused by an underlying health issue or structural defects of the uterus or its surrounding tissues.

Understanding the causes, symptoms, and treatment strategies for the condition is essential for effective management and relief.
