A member asked:

Can menstrual cramps cause upper & lower abdomen pain ? not sharp but discomfort !?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Typically not: Menstrual cramps are typically confined to the pelvis. Yes, some women can have problems such as endometriosis that can spread beyond the pelvis, but i would associate upper abdominal discomfort with bowel related issues.
