*Dysmenorrhea is a very common gynaecological condition which can significantly impact quality of life.
*The pain is typically located in the lower abdomen and may radiate to the inner thighs and back.
*Primary dysmenorrhea is the lower abdominal pain that occurs during the each menstrual cycle and is not associated with any underlying pathology. Pain begins within a few hours of initiation of menstruation and typically resolves within 72 hours. Can be associated with other symptoms like nausea, vomiting, headaches, dizziness, fatigue, and sleep disturbances. Responds well to NSAIDs.
*Secondary dysmenorrhea is associated with an underlying anatomic abnormality or a clinically identifiable pathology. Usually does not respond to non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Hormonal medication or surgical intervention may be needed to alleviate the pain.

Human papilloma virus (HPV) is a group of 200 types of viruses- both high risk and low risk.

Infection with high-risk types is common and can cause ge***al warts or cancer.

In 90% of people the body eliminates the infection by itself.

Persistent HPV infection with high-risk HPV types causes cervical cancer and is also associated with cancers of the v***a, va**na, mouth/throat, p***s and a**s.

Prophylactic vaccination with HPV vaccine can prevent these cancers.

HPV-screening using PAP smear and HPV DNA virus testing can help in detecting the pre cancer changes very early and treatment of these pre-cancer lesions is an effective way to prevent cervical cancer.

women, women on hormone replacement therapy, women on
tamoxifen for treatment of breast cancer

*the woman is in menopausal age group where the chance of
polyp being cancerous is high.

Surgical removal of a polyp and biopsy(Histopathological examination) of the removed polyp will help in further treatment process.
