What causes cramps on your menstural cycle to hurt so bad?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Anti-inflammatory Rx: During your menstrual cycle, your body produces certain chemicals that induce cramping as your uterus is trying to shed its lining. The best approach to that is to start taking anti-inflammatory medications at the first hint of pain so that you can down regulate the pain receptors quickly and keep taking the medicine regularly to prevent further attacks.
