    Tramadol seems a bit extreme for dysmenorrhoea. It can also be habit forming. It's a bit like morphine. Common side effect is constipation which could exacerbate your pain, but senna could help with this.
    Look into Magnesium supplements, Zinc,and Omega 3, there is some research out there that these are beneficial. Also has your doc tried you on hormone contraception, many of our patients have a mirena coil fitted. Obviously last two not options if you are wanting to try for children.

    Having said that, Tramadol is a strong pain killer that will definately help your pain. Just not sure it's a good long term option.
