A member asked:
I usually get bad cramps that end by the 1st night of my period. tonight they are more sharp and persistant than ever. what can cause this change?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cramps: Usually cramps occur due to the uterus expelling overgrown tissue from your cycle. You likely had increased growth during the past month or have an over abundance of prostaglandins which cause the cramping. Aleve (naproxen) or Naproxn works well for cramps. Good luck. If this worsens consult your doctor.
