Hi,
Thanks for the query.

Causes of excessive pain during periods(severe dysmenorrhea) are:
Structural causes like narrow cervical canal, retroverted uterus etc.
Pathological conditions like endometriosis, adenomyosis, pelvic inflammatory disease etc.
Lack of exercise or sedentary life style.
Emotional stress.

So let her once consult gynecologist to undergo physical examination and ultrasound.
With this primary workup the actual cause of her problem can be identified and treatment can be given accordingly.
For symptomatic relief she can take tablets like meftal spas which is an antispasmodic, but for complete cure she has to undergo checkup.

Hope I have answered your query. I will be available to answer your follow up queries. If you are satisfied with all my answer, please rate the answer after closing the discussion.
Take care.
