A member asked:
I get very bad period cramps and they usually last the entire period even the last day. is it normal for them to last the whole menstruation cycle?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes it can because: when you have sloughing of your uterus after the menstrual buildup that resulted in bleeding, there are lots of chemicals that get released into the bloodstream. In certain women, there are an overgrowth of prostaglandins and cytokines which cause inflammation and cramping. You can try taking some ibuprofen 200 mg 2-3 times a day while you have your menstrual flow to minimize the cramping.
