A member asked:
On the first day of my period, when cramps are the worst, eating makes them hurt worse. is that normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cramping's 2 sources: Uterine cramping during the period is smooth muscle derived just like stomach cramping from food which can make both sources worse when eating. Stick with liquids during the first few hours of your period and use Ibuprofen as directed to block the cramping.
