title: [Dysmenorrhea in the female adolescent. Clinical, biological and therapeutic data].
abstract: The physiology and pathology of dysmenorrhea in adolescent girls has become clear in the past 5 years. Although the prime cause of the disorder has not been identified, the obvious rise in PGF2 alpha prostaglandins is an objective biologic sign. As a result, more specific treatment has become possible with more definite and established care of this "condition" which is often distressing to the teenage girl affected.
