About Dysmenorrhea

Dysmenorrhea is characterized by recurrent uterine cramping and pain before and during menses. This common, painful women's health condition seriously affects 12% of all menstruating women in the U.S. between the ages of 20 and 45, or about 5.6 million women. It is estimated to account for 600 million lost work hours and approximately $2 billion in lost productivity annually. Current treatments address the pain but not the underlying problem. Columbia's hypothesis is that administering lidocaine vaginally, using its proprietary bioadhesive delivery system (BDS) technology, can minimize or prevent the severe cramping that results in the debilitating pain of dysmenorrhea.
