A member asked:

Cramps, headaches and nausea after period?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It may be hormones: There is an abrupt change in your level of hormones around your cycles. This withdrawal of hormones can cause such symptoms as headaches, cramps, and nausea. Birth control can help alleviate these symptoms as well as make your cycles predictable, lighter, and less painful.
