Menstrual pain. A womans hands are seen holding her lower abdomen, while suffering painful cramps of the menstrual cycle. Lower abdominal and pelvic pain may occur before or during a menstrual period. This pain at the time of menstruation is known as dysmenorrhea.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the raw reality of menstrual pain experienced by countless women worldwide. In this image, a woman's hands are seen tightly clutching her lower abdomen, a clear indication of the excruciating cramps that accompany the menstrual cycle. Menstruation is often accompanied by lower abdominal and pelvic pain, medically known as dysmenorrhea. The photograph highlights the physical discomfort and disorder that can plague women during their monthly cycles. It serves as a reminder that menstruation is not just about bleeding but also about enduring intense pain and discomfort. The uterus contracts forcefully to expel the menstrual discharge, causing these painful sensations. Additionally, this image sheds light on another aspect of female reproductive health: ovulation. At this stage in the cycle, when an egg is forcibly expelled from an ovary, some women may experience abdominal pain as well. While medical advancements have provided various remedies for managing menstrual pain such as medication or heat therapy, it remains crucial to acknowledge and address this common yet often overlooked issue faced by many women. Science Photo Library has captured both the physical and emotional aspects of menstruation through this poignant photograph. It serves as a visual representation of the challenges faced by countless individuals every month while emphasizing the need for improved healthcare support surrounding menstrual health issues.
