Dysmenorrhea among 12-year-old teenagers from different socioeconomic backgrounds

Dysmenorrhea is definitely an issue that has to be raised with teenagers as soon as menarche occurs or even before that. Easy access to skilled health practitioners should be widespread.PMID:38267345 | DOI:10.1016/j.arcped.2023.09.018
