A member asked:
Why are late menstrual periods more painful?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Thicker endometrium: When your periods are late there is more time for the estrogen from the ovaries to stimulate the enometrial lining to grow, resulting in more endometrial tissue to sluff off giving rise to more pain and more bleeding.
