This study will be conducted to determine the correlation between the levels of serum progesterone and Menstrual Symptoms In Young Females with primary dysmenorrhea.

They will be recruited from the Gynaecological outpatient clinic, Kasr El Ainy University Hospital, Cairo, Egypt Many studies reported that primary dysmenorrhea was the result of increased prostaglandin, especially prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) which produced the effect through the cyclooxygenase pathway, and further led to uterine ischemia hypoxia. Nevertheless the relationship between the serum progesterone level and menstrual symptoms was not completely clear. Hence, this study will investigate the association between the serum progesterone level and menstrual symptoms in young females with primaryf dysmenorrhea.
