Can being on plavix & aspirin make menstrual cramps more painful? i was diagnosed w/endometriosis years ago &already had painful cramps (before blood thinners).today is day 4 of terrible cramps (no bleeding today) after 2 days heaving bleeding

Menstrual cramps: I assume your menstrual cramps are due to your endometriosis and wonder about blockage of fallopian tubes as a cause of severe cramping. Plavix and aspirin would accentuate bleeding but not cramps & taking NSAIDs like ibuprofen or naproxen is not recommended when your on these medications. Your gynecologist could advise you further and suggest using heat & prescription pain relieving medications.
