Do all women experience a cycle to their menstrual pain?
Usually you feel cramps in your lower abdomen or back. The pain usually begins a few hours before any menstrual bleeding, then rises to a peak in the next few hours and eventually stops within one or two days. Of course, the feeling and intensity of cramps can vary from woman to woman, and sometimes can even vary between the same woman's periods.
Do all women have the same symptoms?
Maybe you have cramps you barely notice. Or maybe yours are somewhat more painful. Cramps can also be accompanied by headaches, weakness, chills and dizziness. Gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhea can also occur. Severe cramps may be a symptom of another medical condition. Always discuss these symptoms with your doctor.
