Period pain, or dysmenorrhea, is a condition affecting up to 95 % of menstruating women, according to a reportpublished in the journal Human Reproduction Update. Dysmenorrhea is classified into two types: primary, wherein no known health conditions can account for the painful cramps, and secondary, during which the pain occurs as a result of a diagnosed disorder, such as endometriosis or uterine fibroids. The findings of a new study led by Australian researchers, have shown that the intensity and duration of period pain can be reduced by up to 50 % by administering manual acupuncture.
