Inclusion Criteria:
* Adult women who are not menopausal,
* Presenting with:
* Either severe primary dysmenorrhea, defined by an average pain intensity (VAS) ≥ 6/10 over the last 3 months at the inclusion visit,
* Or, in cases of amenorrhea under hormonal treatment, severe chronic pelvic pain (average VAS ≥ 6/10 over the last 3 months), described as cramp-like, localized in the pelvic region, and similar to the initial dysmenorrhea pain.

* Hypersensitivity to the active substance, human albumin, or sucrose,
* Bleeding disorders or current treatment with anticoagulants,
* Ongoing vaginal or upper genital tract infection,
* Participation in another interventional clinical trial,
* Inability to cooperate or understand the study requirements in a way that would allow strict adherence to the protocol,
