Menstrual cramps may be caused by identifiable problems, such as endometriosis or uterine fibroids. Treating any underlying cause is key to reducing the pain. Menstrual cramps that aren't caused by an underlying condition tend to lessen with age and often improve once a woman has given birth.

Symptoms of menstrual cramps include:

Throbbing or cramping pain in your lower abdomen that may be intense

Dull, constant ache

Pain that radiates to your lower back and thighs

Some women also experience:Nausea, Loose stools,Headache or Dizziness

Menstrual cramps may also be caused by:Endometriosis. Uterine fibroids.Adenomyosis.Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) or Cervical stenosis.

Menstrual cramps are treatable. Your doctor may recommend:Pain relievers. Hormonal Birth Control, a tcm called pill of fu yan, or Surgery when your symptoms are serious.
