Does dysmenorrhea affect fertility?

Dysmenorrhea, which is painful menstrual cramps, does not directly affect fertility. However, the pain and discomfort associated with dysmenorrhea can make it difficult for a woman to have intercourse during her period, which may reduce the chances of conception. Additionally, if a woman has a condition such as endometriosis that is causing her dysmenorrhea, it can also potentially lead to fertility problems. It is always best to consult with a doctor if you have any concerns about your fertility.
