A member asked:
Why do i have painful cramps 5-6 days after my period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mittelschmerz: The timing is right around when most women with regular periods would ovulate: pain at this time is fairly common and is called mittelschmerz. There could be other causes in your case but you'd need a thorough history and exam to begin evaluation. Good wishes.
