What does the prefix 'dys' indicate?

  1. Normal

  2. Painful

  3. Without

  4. Below

The correct answer is: Painful

The prefix 'dys' is often used to indicate abnormality or difficulty. For example, 'dysfunction' refers to an abnormal or impaired functioning of a specific organ or system. The prefix can also indicate pain or discomfort, such as in 'dysuria' (painful urination) or 'dysmenorrhea' (painful menstruation). The other options are incorrect because the prefix 'dys' does not indicate normality (A) or lack thereof (C), nor does it indicate something being below a normal level (D).
