Understanding this area of care
A clear overview to help you know what to expect before your consultation.

- Cramping that begins before or during bleeding
- Pain that radiates to the back or thighs
- Nausea or vomiting with periods
- Pain that worsens over time
- Pain during intercourse or bowel movements (may suggest endometriosis)

If any of the following apply, it is worth arranging a consultation.

- Over-the-counter pain relief is no longer adequate
