A member asked:

I started cramping 5 days after my period ended. why is that? this has never happened before

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hard to know: The cramping could be from the uterus or the intestines or even the bladder. If from the uterus it could be due to an infection in the vagina or uterus, an irregular period about to start, or a cyst on an ovary, for instance. If this doesn't resolve on its own you may want to get checked.
