I'm having really bad period pains, why are some periods worse than others?

GYN eval: The higher the level of prostaglandins you have, the more liklhood you will have painful contractions of muscles during your period. Dysmenorrhea can be caused by polyps, endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, cervical stenosis, fibroids & adenomyosis. Please see your gynecologist since you have severe pain. Take care.
