Period pain or period cramps
Period pain or dysmenorrhoea is thought to be a result of the uterus muscles working hard contracting to dislodge the thickened lining at the beginning of menstruation. Often pain is felt in the abdomen, lower back and legs. The severity of pain experienced can vary significantly from woman to woman.
