5 COMMON CAUSES OF MENSTRUAL CRAMPS

(1) Prostaglandins – During menstruation, the body releases chemicals called prostaglandins that make the uterus contract, causing cramps.

(2) Heavy menstrual flow – Heavier bleeding can be associated with stronger uterine contractions and more painful cramps.

(3) Endometriosis – Tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus and can cause severe period pain.

(4) Uterine fibroids – These non-cancerous growths in the uterus can sometimes cause painful or heavier periods.

(5) Adenomyosis – When tissue similar to the uterine lining grows into the muscular wall of the uterus, it can cause painful periods and heavy bleeding.
