Introduction: Dysmenorrhea is the most common gynecological complaint in Young adult women, with an index that varies between 43 and 93% of women who menstruate, can be classified as primary and secondary. Membranous dysmenorrhea (MD) is a subclassification of dysmenorrhea and is defined as the spontaneous expulsion of endometrial tissue through the vagina, leading to severe and sudden colic pain. In the present study, the patient presented 3 episodes of MD, therefore, this work is important for the scientific community due to the scarcity of information and scientific articles published about this subject, proposing to elucidate some aspects about this theme. Objectives: to describe the clinical case on Membrane Dysmenorrhea, including signs and symptoms, diagnostic methods used and treatment. Materials and methods: this is a case report, an observational and descriptive study with data collected in a total sample of a single patient treated at a private clinic in João Pessoa/Paraíba. Exclusion criteria are not applied in the present study. All ethical aspects related to this type of study were strictly followed by the researchers, taking into account resolution No. 466/12 of the National Health Council. Results: patient, 23 years old, female, regularly using oral contraceptives, presented three similar episodes with severe colic that ceased after the tissue contents left the vagina, being diagnosed with DM through histopathological exame. Conclusion: It is concluded, then, that the case report described shows three typical episodes of MD, with recurrence in three different times after the use of the same low-dose combined oral contraceptive, showing that can be an important risk factor for the appearance of such episodes. More detailed studies and research about MD are needed, studies at the molecular level of the expelled materials could be the key to discovering the pathophysiology, therefore, a more effective management of patients would be achieved.
