Doctors and researchers have confirmed that menstrual cramps can reach pain levels comparable to a heart attack. Studies from University College London found that during menstruation, uterine contractions restrict blood flow, triggering intense pain signals similar to those caused by a cardiac event. Many women experience severe discomfort that is often underestimated or dismissed in medical settings. Experts emphasize that this pain should be treated seriously, with proper diagnosis and management to improve women’s quality of life and reduce long-term health impacts.
