What is Menstrual Cramp?
Almost all ladies experience the ill effects of premenstrual indications sooner or later in their life, and up to 15% of women experience this extreme period pain, called Dysmenorrhea. As the uterus contracts all through the menstrual cycle, it can cause cramping and pain in the stomach area and lower back. This sort of muscle pain is an aftereffect of the uterine muscles pushing against surrounding veins (blood vessels) and cut the oxygen to the muscles temporarily.
Pain occurs in the lower back and lower belly. It starts from 1 to 2 days before the monthly cycle and keeps last from 2 to 4 days.
