What Causes Menstrual Cramps? 5 Reasons For Period Pain

Have you suffered from menstrual cramps? Are they to the point where they are making you dread having a period? Why do girls get period cramps? Well, you're not alone. Menstrual cramping is probably one of the most uncomfortable symptoms that millions of ladies endure every month.


Nothing to be shy, we will explore this topic more fully, in depth.




Menstruation is what causes menstrual pain in ladies. Each month the female body prepares for the possibility of pregnancy. Hormone levels vary, and frequently cause unusual cramps, much constipation and sometimes diarrhea, irritability and backache. The period cramps range from mild discomfort to severe pain and can be felt in the lower abdomen or pelvis, as well as in the legs.


Period Pain are caused by uterine contractions

It's a cruel irony that the week you begin your period is often the most difficult time for getting to sleep. Menstrual cramps are caused by uterine contractions, and these muscle spasms are triggered by a prostaglandin-like hormone called prostacyclin. When elevated levels of prostacyclin are released from the lining of the uterus, it causes the muscles of the uterus to contract, which then results in pain and cramps in the abdomen.


Menstrual cramps are most intense during the first day or two of menstruation, but they may last for the whole period. They typically become less severe with each menstrual cycle and go away completely after menopause.



Period Cramps can be genetic

It's a myth? Period cramps can be caused by the family's genetic history.


The family's genetic history is the cause of period cramps in women with other family members that have this condition. The severity may not be the same, but it will be close.



Cramps are a symptom of endometriosis

Menstrual cramps can be a symptom of endometriosis, a condition where the lining of the uterus grows outside of the uterus. If you experience severe cramping or cramping that does not go away with over-the-counter medicine, talk to your doctor about endometriosis.


There are many different causes of menstrual cramps. Some women experience symptoms that are caused by an underlying health condition, such as endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), fibroids, or adenomyosis. In some cases, your doctor may recommend surgery to treat conditions that cause painful cramps.


Other ladies experience symptoms due to normal changes in their hormones during their menstrual cycle. If you're experiencing period pain but don't have an underlying health condition that's causing them, you'll probably have to manage your symptoms with lifestyle changes and over-the-counter medicines.



Birth control pills can also increase your risk of getting cramps

Birth control pills can increase your risk of getting cramps because they prevent ovulation. Ovulation is the process of an egg being released from the ovaries. The hormones in the pill stop ovulation and thus reduce the supply of progesterone in your body.


Progesterone is a hormone that relaxes muscle tissue, including in your uterus. So when you're not producing enough progesterone, your uterine muscles contract more, which can cause cramps. But period cramps aren't always caused by low progesterone levels. They could be due to a buildup of prostaglandins — hormonelike substances that cause the smooth muscles of your uterus to contract so that it sheds its lining during your period. If you experience severe cramps, talk with your doctor about other birth control options.



Stress and anxiety can bring on menstrual cramps

According to The Star newspaper, stress problems in coming with pandemic has led to a 52% increase in people, and mostly within Klang Valley. Stress and anxiety can bring on period cramps. It can make you more sensitive to pain, so you may feel worse when you have cramping. Stress can also interfere with your sleep, which can make you more uncomfortable, too.


Menstrual cramps are a result of your uterus contracting to release its lining. Hormone-like substances (prostaglandins) involved in pain and inflammation trigger the uterine muscle contractions. Higher levels of prostaglandins are associated with more-severe menstrual cramps.


Pain results from muscle contractions causing pressure on nearby blood vessels, restricting the flow of oxygen to the affected areas. This causes pain and further muscle contractions (spasms).

The good news is that there are plenty of things you can do to help relieve period cramps without medication.
