Webb suffers from secondary dysmenorrhea, when painful periods are a symptom of another health issue, like endometriosis, adenomyosis, and fibroids. For Webb, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) was the root cause of her pain, a diagnosis she only received two years ago. Like many women who suffer from secondary dysmenorrhea, her painful periods have impacted her life. She recalls boarding a flight in such agony that she had “that movie moment of ‘Is there a doctor on the plane?’” shortly before she passed out.
