No this is called as Dismenoriea. It has got nothing to do with infertility. get your hormonal checked with any good OBG

Not necessarily. There are many ways females can be infertile, including structural issues (eg, damaged fallopian tubes, the uterus is shaped differently from normal), hormonal issues (eg, not ovulating), and others. Damage to the fallopian tubes and lack of ovulation are two of the most common causes of female-factor infertility. Neither painful periods nor diarrhea are clear signs of these problems.

Hi savitri,

Painful periods are not a cuase for infertility. But a ultrasosnography willl surely tell if there is any abnormality in uterus giving rise to pain.

Please feel free to talk to me on 9820416386-Dr.Aniruddha or visit my clinic website at http://jayshreeclinics.googlepages. com or email me your problem on palande2000@yahoo.com

Take care.

Painful periods do not affect fertility. In fact, for most patients, regular painful periods usually signal ovulatory cycles. However, progressively worsening pain during periods (especially when this is accompanied by pain during sex) may mean you have endometriosis.
