why is my period cause stomach pain
Cramps happen during menstruation. They suck. The uterus basically starts contracting so that the lining comes off and is expelled. These cramps can cause bowel issues such as constipation or diarrhea, which can cause cramping in the lower abdominal region. Basically if the uterus isn't happy, ain't nobody happy. Good thing it only lasts around 4-5 days (for me anyway). But not everyone's periods are the same.
