Menorrhagia: Severe loss of blood during a period lasting more than seven days is called menorrhagia. It is a form of dysfunctional uterine bleeding.

Dysmenorrhoea: Abdominal and uterine pain during periods is referred to as dysmenorrhea. This includes abdominal cramps and pelvic pain during periods.
