Because some girls are very week so they cant bear the pain that's why Because their Fallopian tubes are squeezing and constricting, trying to get that single egg into the womb, thus giving the girl cramps Both of the above of very wrong. Especially the first. Here is the answer from the medical website medicinenet.com: "Menstrual cramps are caused by the uterine contractions that occur in response to prostaglandins and other chemicals. The cramping sensation is intensified when clots or pieces of bloody tissue from the lining of the uterus pass through the cervix, especially if a woman's cervical canal is narrow. The difference between menstrual cramps that are more painful and those that are less painful may be related to a woman's prostaglandin levels. Women with menstrual cramps have elevated levels of prostaglandins in the endometrium (uterine lining) when compared with women who do not experience cramps. Menstrual cramps are very similar to those a pregnant woman experiences when she is given prostaglandin as a medication to induce labor."

No, and this question makes no sense.Menstrual cramps are a result of hormone-like chemicals that cause the uterus to contract in order to shed uterine lining during menstruation, if these are too high in number they cause the blood vessels in the uterus to contract and reduce blood flow so cutting off oxygen to muscle.Tampons can't get rid of menstrual cramps, if anything tampons can make menstrual cramps worse by expanding into the cervix which is already sensitive due to menstruation. Certainly scent has nothing to do with menstrual cramps and scented tampons pose a health risk.
