The pain that occurs is caused by several factors, from lack of physical movement and can also be triggered by stressed thoughts. This pain often appears before and during menstruation. In this situation, a person often feels uncomfortable and even unable to carry out activities because of the pain experienced during menstruation, so that this interferes with a person's activities and a person's motivation to do something. Many female students think that menstruation is an obstacle to sports activities. Because during menstruation it often causes pain, pain in the stomach, weakness, dizziness and discomfort.
