Dysmenorrhea and Endometriosis in the Adolescent Patient

This podcast is a review of the ACOG Committee Opinion 760 from December 2018. Dysmenorrhea, or menstrual pain, is the most common menstrual symptom among adolescent girls and young women. Most adolescents with menstrual pain will have primary dysmenorrhea, but secondary dysmenorrhea (endometriosis) may also occur. This podcast will review symptoms, work-up, and therapy of both primary and secondary dysmenorrhea in the adolescent patient.
