AB The  pain  of  dysmenorrhea  may  be  experienced  in  the  pelvis,  lower  back,  or  anterior  thighs.Nonsteroidal  anti-inflammatory  drugs  (NSAIDs)  are  the  first-line  treatment  for  dysmenorrhea.In  a  normal  menstrual  cycle  there  is  an  average  of  5  to  80  mL  of  blood  loss.Abnormal  uterine  bleeding  (AUB)  is  a  diagnosis  of  exclusion  and  involves  any  disturbance  in  regularity,  frequency,  duration,  or  volume  of  menstrual  flow.Up  to  20%  of  adolescents  with  dysfunctional  uterine  bleeding  will  have  a  coagulopathy.The  hallmark  of  AUB  is  a  negative  pelvic  examination.
