The primary objective is to evaluate the mean change in menstrual pain intensity at the endpoint visit from baseline. The difference of the mean change in menstrual pain intensity during each menstrual cycle from baseline will also be investigated. Subjects will be asked to use the VAS scoring system to record, on a provided sheet, their experienced menstrual pain level daily during menstrual bleeding for a total of three consecutive menstrual cycles in house.
