Question 1

why am i having cramps and lower back pain after my period? i ended my period on the 4th of this month and today i woke up with horrible cramps!

Accepted Answer

Hormonal imbalance: Menstrual irregularities are not uncommon and anovulatory cycle is a common cause. If you miss more than two periods it would be time to see your doctor. If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time. You may consider implanted contraceptive or an IUD.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

If your period was: Not normal - may be it wasn't your period. Check a pregnancy test to determine if you are pregnant from prior to that time.

Question 3

6 day late on my period i am having a little cramps and lower back pain?

Accepted Answer

Possible pregnancy: This could be due to pregnancy or to period coming late. Check a pregnancy test.

Question 4

why do i have mild cramps and lower back pain one week before my period?

Accepted Answer

Normal: As the uterine lining becomes unstable at the end of your cycle an inflammatory process begins.  This causes your uterus to cramp.

Question 5

constant cramps and lower back pain all month long like in getting my period?

Accepted Answer

Depends: It depends  on how long you have had this problem.  If  has been more than a month  you may consider the possibility  of  endometriosis. Bladder infections, ovarian  cysts  and even fibroids  may also be considered.  See your  gyn .  You may also  need to  see a GI specialist  for  possible irritable bowel issues.

Question 6

my period is 4 days late and i've been having   cramps and lower back pain should i take a test now?

Accepted Answer

Yes...: A pregnancy test will usually turn positive about the time of your missed period, or 2 weeks after conception.  If your period is late because of pregnancy, then it should be positive.

Question 7

my period was due yesterday, but it was late last month don't know why but i've been having cramps and lower back pain for about 4-5 days help please!!!

Accepted Answer

UTI: Your symptoms describe a urinary or cervical infection.  I am not sure what you want us to help you with. You need to go have your examination and urine tested.

Question 8

three days late for period had unprotected sex but had dull cramps and lower back pain but nothing? could it be starting

Accepted Answer

You have to wait: and see what happens. If you had unprotected sex you could be pregnant.  You could have an early pregnancy and miscarriage at the time of your normal period and never really know you were pregnant.  It is always hard to predict the future, sometimes you have to just wait and see.

Question 9

i'm postmenopausal, i haven't had a period since feb of 2016. i am spotting quite a bit, have real bad cramps and lower back pain. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Postmenopausal bleed: Postmenopausal bleeding should always be evaluated by an Obgyn. In most cases it is benign but in some cases it isn’t. Generally after confirming the patients history and exam will be done as well as a pelvic sonogram to evaluated the endometrial thickness. If needed an endometrial biopsy may need to be done

Question 10

i had my period for 1 day last week and now im having really bad cramps and lower back pain my period usually last a week, any idea what this could be?

Accepted Answer

Short periods : Short periods are very common if you are on birth control pills.
Sometimes could be associated to ovulatory dysfunction, early pregnancy, or hormonal problems. I recommend to run a home pregnancy test and make an appt with your gyn doctor if the test is neg and short periods persists.
