Nearly every woman gets some period cramps, but there's a wide gap between "normal" and "something to get checked." Pain that stops you from going to work, needs painkillers every cycle, or keeps getting worse year over year is worth paying attention to.
This free 7-question scale checks how disruptive, how early, and how severe your pain is, and tells you whether it's typical or worth a gynaecologist visit.

Answers written for Indian women — honest, practical, and doctor-verified.
How much period pain is actually normal?
Mild to moderate cramps on day 1-2, manageable with OTC painkillers, are typical. Pain that stops you from working or studying is not "just a bad period."
What conditions cause severe period pain?
Endometriosis and adenomyosis are the most common causes of pain beyond typical dysmenorrhea, along with fibroids in some cases.
What can help with severe cramps right now?
Heat (hot water bag), light movement, and NSAIDs like mefenamic acid or ibuprofen (taken early, before pain peaks) work best. If these aren't enough, see a gynaecologist.
Does period pain naturally get worse with age?
No — primary dysmenorrhea often improves with age or after childbirth. Pain that's getting progressively worse is more suggestive of an underlying condition.
