Disease/Condition Glossary

Abdominal pain and cramps: Abdominal pain occurs between the chest and pelvic region, generally known as stomach or tummy pain. Pain is a symptom triggered by the nervous system, causing uncomfortable sensations in the body. Muscle spasm is the sudden involuntary contractions of the muscle, which can be painful and uncomfortable. When the nerve impulses that control the muscle movements are damaged or interrupted, it could lead to muscle spasms. The common causes of abdominal pain include inflammation, infections, intestinal disorders, and obstruction/blockage.

Dysmenorrhea: Menstrual cramps, also known as dysmenorrhea, is characterised by cramps and pain during menstruation due to heavy flow. Pain, cramps, and discomfort during periods are normal. However, excessive pain during periods is not normal and requires medication. Menstrual cramps cause throbbing, aching pain in the lower belly that occurs before or during the periods.
