A member asked:
Im having severe lower back pains they feel like contractions and i got my cycle a week early what's going on? im not on birth control
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hormones: These pains you are having are likely related to your female hormones, estrogen and progesterone. The fact that you got your cycle a week early means that the hormones may be out of balance to each other. You could also have something called endometriosis if this pain is severe and comes every month. See a gynecologist to have a full history and exam taken, there are options for treatment.
