Hard to answer: Without further information, this is difficult to determine. Bleeding amount are based on the amount of uterine lining that needs to be shed each cycle. However, the cramps and back pain are usually from the uterus contracting to expel menstrual tissue. The back pain is usually from the uterosacral nerve running from the cervix to the lowest back bones in the sacrum.
