What causes period cramps?

Period cramps are caused by hormonal changes in each female in the childbearing period every month. These hormonal changes trigger the release of some chemical substances, which trigger(baby-home) the uterus to contract. The contraction of the uterus squeezes the blood vessel in its wall, making the uterus feel hungry or, in other words, ischemic. The ischemia of the uterus makes you think of these noisy cramps in your lower abdomen. This is the same when you have a calf cramp during a long jog. That’s how the normal cramps are generated. 


So, What makes the period cramps normal?

“Women complain about premenstrual syndrome, but I think of it as the only time of the month that I can be myself.”
Roseanne Barr

Is this a theoretical problem, but is it normal because most women have these cramps and do not have any disease? Honestly, these cramps denote a functional ovary. However, some characteristics define these cramps. Whenever you fulfill it, you can relax that what is happening to you is just a normal phenomenon that takes no risks. These characteristics are:

  • Pain is usually in the lower abdominal pain and may radiate to the lower limb.
  • Pain is usually colicky in nature.
  • Pain is more common in virgins and women who have not gotten pregnant.
  • The pain usually appears on the first day of menstruation with or just before the flow, then rapidly decreases in intensity after 24 hours.


When to seek medical attention?

As previously said, most period cramps are considered normal. However, some reflags raise suspicion of underlying disease in your pelvis, ovaries, uterus, cervix, or vagina. The following red flags are the following:

  • The pain is continuous.
  • The pain starts to appear days (3-5) before the start of the flow.
  • The pain is associated with irregular periods, excessive flow, or abnormal secretion.
  • Period cramps totally disrupt your daily life.
Whenever you have one, you must seek medical advice to properly examine and thoroughly investigate your symptoms.

In a nutshell

Period Cramps are a normal phenomenon caused by your monthly hormonal changes. The normal periods cramps have some key characteristics that make it just a cyclic event. Whenever you think you miss one of these characteristics, you should seek medical advice.
