A member asked:
I have really painful cramps, but it's not my period. what could it be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The cramps: Think of the anatomy of the pelvis. You have abdominal wall muscles, bladder, uterus, intestines, ureters, ligaments, and possible sites for hernias. Knowing more details of your pain, where it is located, what makes it worse or better could help your family doc or gynecologist figure this out.
