Having pain in periods is normal. But, having severe abdominal cramps consistently every month may not be normal. There could be serious underlying reasons that make it necessary to see your doctor. Know about the unignorable reasons why many women suffer from severe menstrual cramps every month.

1. Why do many women suffer from Painful Periods
and Menstrual Cramps

2. Dysmenorrhea,
or extreme
period pain, is
a common
problem
About 20% of women suffer from
menstrual cramps and severe period
pains that interferes with their daily
activities.
There can be many reasons behind
the severe pain.

3. Prostaglandins Level
• During menstruation, the hormone-like substance in a woman’s body,
known as prostaglandins, causes the uterus walls to contract and shed
its lining. This results in period.
• When the prostaglandins levels goes higher, more pain associated
with cramps is experienced.
• This varies from woman to woman, but cramps are likely to become
less painful as you get older or after childbirth.

4. Endometriosis
• Extreme pain is felt when the lining is formed outside of the uterus,
extending up to the fallopian tubes
• This may cause severe chronic pain than felt in regular period cramps

5. Adenomyosis
• The growth of the tissue lining the uterus into the muscular walls
of the uterus can also be one of the reasons behind severe
menstrual cramps.

6. UterineFibroids
• The growth of fibroids on the wall of the uterus can sometimes
cause extreme pain in the affected areas
• These are cyst like non-cancerous growths on the uterus wall.

7. Pelvic Inflammatory Disease
• The inflammation of a woman’s reproductive organs such as fallopian
tubes may cause extra pain.
• It is caused due to infection of the reproductive organs, usually caused
by sexually transmitted bacteria.

8. Cervical Stenosis
• In this condition, the opening of the cervix of women gets smaller
due to stenosis.
• It restricts the flow of menstrual blood, thereby causing painful
increase of pressure in the uterus.

9. In general, menstrual cramps are a sign of a healthy body that shows its
reactions against the natural shedding of the wall of the uterus.
However, if the pain are disrupting your life activities every cycle and if
your symptoms are getting worse with time,
you should speak to your doctor without delay.
