RISK FACTORS Age < 20 years Attempts to lose weight Depression / anxiety Disruption of social networks Heavy menses Nulliparity Smoking
CLINICAL PRESENTATION Usually presents during adolescence, within three years of menarche Unusual for symptoms to start within the first six months after menarche Pain usually develops within hours of the start of menstruation and peaks as the flow becomes heaviest during the first day or two of the cycle Symptoms of nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fatigue, fever, headache or lightheadedness

ROS INDUCES PGF2a Endometrial stroma Decidualized endometrial stroma cell Sugino et al, 2001
NSAID can reduce PGF2a Sugino et al, 2001
SOD regulated by steroid Sugino et al, 2002
ROS and SOD During normal cellular respiration, oxygen is reduced to water and highly reactive superoxide ( )
ROS and SOD These reactive oxygen species (superoxide) react with nucleic acids, sugars, proteins and lipids - eventually leading to protein degradation.
