Brief Summary

The rationale of this study is despite the widespread belief that exercise can reduce dysmenorrhea, evidence-based studies are limited. Studies are therefore required to evaluate the association between quality of life and the primary dysmenorrheal females, the functional impact on the quality of life and primary dysmenorrhea females also it's a crucial time for females to focus on their studies and dysmenorrhea can add to the fatigue levels and cause distress in this age group thus the purpose of this study is to determine whether myokinetic active release of trigger points in the rectus abdominis, gluteus medius and quadratus lumborum is a more effective way to reduce dysmenorrhea than kegel exercises
