Cramping is normal when you start your period. Especially if you have not had children or are under the age of 25. Cramps are merely uterine contractions working to expel the endometrium. However, if you are experiencing cramps that prevent you from doing normal activities, that is not normal and could signal a more severe health problem like endometriosis and you should visit your gynecologist.
It is also more common to have cramps when you have ovulated. For women that have an anovulatory cycle, periods are often come without cramps.
Cramps....everyone has them and hates them!!!! The best things to do are take an Advil, then try not to think about them at all, do some stretching and exercise, apply heat to it and eat chocolate or raisins(i know its weird but it works)
Sometimes birth control pills can help lighten periods and help lessen cramps if you have them really bad. Check with a gynecologist.
It's your uterus contracting. Your uterus is a muscle, so when it contracts too much, it cramps up, just like any other muscle. Like when you overdo the exercise and your legs burn.
I've heard that labour contractions are just like period pains, but like 10x worse lol
Every girl is different. Some girls have horrible cramps, and other girls have none. We just gotta smile and be as positive as we can. We have them bcause the uterus muscles work real hard when we got periods! Good Luck! =) Kimi
the uterus goes through small contractions to help shed the lining. take an ibuprofen OR naproxen and a tylenol. NEVER take naproxen and ibuprofen together although a tylenol can be combined with either one.
I started my period at school and I didn't even know. there was no cramps or anything. Some girls have them and some don't. my mom has cramps and I don't. Well take a pain pill and move on. It will be over soon.
your womb contracts to help you shed the lining, so the blood comes out, ew. put a hot water bottle on your tummy to get rid of the cramps, and also try lying on the floor with your legs up against the wall, it really helps with the pain, and take ibruprofen or paracetemol when it gets really bad
i never got cramps.... lucky me :]
Because your uterus is hard at work. You know like when you excersise for a long time and you get muscle cramps, that's basically what cramps are.
