An irregular cycle usually indicates the general state of a woman's health, and normally the results of nutritional deficiencies or autointoxication caused by constipation may also be an organic malfunction, drugs, vitamin or lack of some minerals, and/or chemicals.

Amenorrhea: Absence or suppression of menses.

Dysmenorrhea: Painful or tough menses.

There are 2 kinds of dysmenorrhea (painful menstruation):

Primary Dysmenorrhea normally doesn't occur until many years after menses begins. The pain begins a couple of hours before or at the onset of bleeding, might last from a couple of hours to 1-2 days and is usually worst the primary day. At first, there's a scanty flow, which will increase because the pain subsides.

Secondary dysmenorrhea could start 2-3 days before onset, with pain inside the abdomen, little of the back, and on down the legs. it's a more constant pain, but it includes sharp cramps and continues throughout the menstrual period. 

This kind is usually linked to a pelvic disorder (inflammation, uterine displacement, endometriosis, tumors, etc.), that has to be eliminated in order to reduce or take away the pain.

Hormonal imbalance is sometimes involved in this condition.
