Front and back cramps and spotting a week before my period what could it be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Uterine muscle cramp: Before you see menstrual spotting or bleeding there is intra-uterine bleeding and hemorrhaging which leads to muscle contractions of the uterine wall some of which can be very painful.
