A member asked:
Are really painful menstrual cramps a sign of something else? i don't take meds for it. i just tolerate it. need i worry?

Likely not: If you are able to use a medicine like Ibuprofen for the pain (assuming that you don't have any other medical issues that would prevent you from doing so), you should try this first. If this controls the pain, then it is unlikely to be anything else. If not, you should be evaluated by your gynecologist.
