Whether or not to see a doctor for dysmenorrhea depends on the severity of the pain and when it first begins. Mild lower abdominal pain during menstruation can often be managed by adjusting lifestyle and daily habits to see if symptoms improve. If the pain persists, taking over-the-counter pain relievers may help alleviate the discomfort.
