Period Cramps


Roughly 80% of menstruating women experience period cramps. Period cramps can affect a woman’s day-to-day life due to the pain and discomfort women experience from them. For the uterus to shed the unfertilized egg that is released each month during ovulation the uterus must contract to result in cramping. Period cramps don’t have to affect a woman’s day-to-day life though. There are natural ways to combat the discomforts and pain associated with period cramps.
