A member asked:

Hello. i am having really bad cramps and my lower back hurts. i've also been seeing a lot of mucus. period due in two day. is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe: It could just be a bad period getting started, but it could also be a cyst, a kidney or bladder problem, or even a GI problem. If this is not something you have had before it would be best to get checked out.
