Brief Answer:
Due to dysmenorrhea.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The condition you are describing is called dysmenorrhoea.
It is seen commonly in most women. All most 95 -97% women face such problems. If there are no disturbances in her periods or if she has no other associated symptoms such as vaginal discharge, fever, difficulties while passing urine and so on, there is no reason to worry.
As far as treating pain is concerned, I would suggest you to consult a gynecologist for physical examination and investigations like ultrasound scan to rule out an ovarian cysts or endometriosis. Following evaluation, he/she can prescribe you antispasmodic drug which can prevent pain.
In the mean time, home measures such as hot compresses over the lower abdomen and massages can help. Over the counter analgesics such as ibuprofen can be useful on some occasions.
Be assured it is not a serious problem and will be redressed by investigations and proper treatment.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
